Violin Concerto in B minor, op. 61

Album by Edward Elgar & Jascha Heifetz & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Malcolm Sargent

The Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61 is a violin concerto by English composer Edward Elgar, completed and first performed in 1910. It exemplifies the late-Romantic orchestral tradition with expansive lyrical solo writing, rich orchestral textures and a melancholic, introspective character, reflecting its position late in Elgar's career and its place in early 20th-century British orchestral repertoire.
