Violin Concerto

Album by Alban Berg & André Gertler & Philharmonia Orchestra & Paul Kletzki

The Violin Concerto is a composition for solo violin and orchestra by Austrian composer Alban Berg, completed in 1935. It blends twelve-tone technique with late-Romantic lyricism—pairing an expressive solo violin part with dense orchestral textures—and is one of Berg's final completed works, occupying a position that bridges late-Romantic expressiveness and serialist practice in 20th-century music.
First released: 1954
