Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Yehudi Menuhin & Wiener Philharmoniker

The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 is a violin concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806. The work blends Classical formal balance with a symphonic breadth, featuring expansive melodic lines, rich harmonic development and close integration between the solo violin and orchestra, and it exemplifies Beethoven's middle-period approach to expanding the traditional concerto form toward the early Romantic era.
First released: 1964
