Konzert für Violine und Orchester

Album by Aram Ilich Khachaturian & Gustav Schmahl & Gerhard Pflüger & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig

Konzert für Violine und Orchester is the violin concerto by Aram Chatschaturjan, composed in 1940. The work blends Armenian and Russian folk-influenced melodies with a Romantic concerto structure, featuring virtuosic violin writing, vivid orchestral colours and driving rhythms, and is representative of Chatschaturjan's mid-career Soviet-era output.
