Violin Concertos
Album by Jean Sibelius & Antonín Dvořák & Berliner Philharmoniker & Shlomo Mintz & James Levine
The Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 is a violin concerto by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1903–1904 and premiered in 1904. It combines virtuosic solo writing and sweeping orchestral textures in a late-Romantic idiom, and as Sibelius's only violin concerto it occupies a central place in his output and in the early 20th-century concerto repertoire.
