Concerto pour violon en ré opus 61

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Sir Colin Davis & Arthur Grumiaux

The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 is a violin concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1806. Rooted in the Classical tradition with expansive, lyrical themes, broad orchestral textures and demanding solo writing, the work embodies a symphonic approach to the concerto and represents a major example of Beethoven's mature instrumental output that helped shape the 19th-century concerto repertoire.
