Violin Concerto / Romances

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Philharmonia Orchestra & Giuseppe Sinopoli & Shlomo Mintz

The Violin Concerto and the Romances are compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 (the concerto) and around 1798–1802 (the Romances). They feature lyrical solo violin writing against Classical orchestral textures and bridge Classical formal clarity with emerging Romantic expressive tendencies, reflecting Beethoven's middle-period expansion of instrumental form and expressive range.
