Concertos for Violin

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Camille Saint‐Saëns & Cho-Liang Lin & Philharmonia Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas

The Violin Concertos by Felix Mendelssohn are a pair of concertos composed in 1822 and 1844. They blend Romantic-era melodic warmth with Classical formal clarity, featuring lyrical violin lines, close orchestral dialogue and conventional three-movement concerto forms, and the later concerto represents a mature synthesis in Mendelssohn's output with a notable place in nineteenth-century violin repertoire.
First released: 1984
