Symphonie Espagnole, op. 21: for Violin and Orchestra

Album by Édouard Lalo & Philharmonia Orchestra & Jean Martinon & David Fiodorovich Oistrakh

Symphonie Espagnole, Op. 21 is a composition for violin and orchestra by French composer Édouard Lalo, composed in 1874. The work blends Romantic orchestral colour with Spanish‑inspired rhythms and melodies, featuring virtuosic solo violin writing alongside lyrical orchestral passages, and it occupies a significant place in Lalo's output as a late‑19th‑century showcase for violin virtuosity in French music.
