Violin Concerto in D op. 61 / 2 Romances

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Joseph Swensen & André Previn & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, together with a pair of violin romances, is a composition by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806. The concerto pairs a technically demanding solo violin part with full orchestral textures in a Classical concerto framework that anticipates Romantic expressiveness through expansive melodic lines and formal innovations, and it belongs to Beethoven's middle-period output where he broadened concerto form and orchestral writing.
First released: 1988
