Violin Concerto

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Zino Francescatti & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Eugene Ormandy

The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 is a violin concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806. Combining classical forms with expanded orchestral textures and a demanding, lyrical solo part, the work reflects Beethoven's shift from his early to middle period and demonstrates an increased integration of soloist and orchestra that influenced later concerto writing.
