Violin Concerto in D, op. 35

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Jascha Heifetz & Philharmonia Orchestra & Walter Süsskind

Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 is a violin concerto by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1878. The work exemplifies late Romantic concerto writing, pairing virtuosic solo passages with expansive, lyrical orchestral writing, and occupies a prominent place in the violin repertoire and in Tchaikovsky's output as a fusion of technical bravura and melodic expressiveness.
