Violin Concertos
Album by Edward Elgar & Max Bruch & Rachel Barton Pine & BBC Symphony Orchestra & Andrew Litton
Elgar's Violin Concerto in B minor is a concerto by the English composer Edward Elgar, composed in 1910. The work exemplifies late-Romantic British orchestral style with expansive, lyrical solo violin writing set against rich orchestral textures, demanding both technical virtuosity and sustained expressive phrasing, and it stands as Elgar's principal contribution to the violin repertoire and a significant example of early 20th-century British composition.
