Violin Concerto In D major, op. 61

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Isaac Stern & Daniel Barenboim & New York Philharmonic

Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 is a violin concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806. Part of the core Classical concerto repertoire, it combines expansive, symphonic orchestral writing with long, singing violin lines and a broad three-movement structure that reflects Beethoven's move toward a more expansive early Romantic expressive language during his middle period.
