Composer:
Ludwig van Beethoven

Artist(s):
Viktoria Mullova

Conductor:
John Eliot Gardiner

Background: This album brings Viktoria Mullova together with John Eliot Gardiner and his Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique for a programme which couples two of the greatest violin concertos in the repertory: those by Beethoven and Mendelssohn.

Beethoven's Violin Concerto is his only concerto for a solo string instrument and is one of the cornerstones of violin repertoire. It is conceived on a huge scale and must have presented an enormous challenge to the violinist who first performed the work on 23-Dec-1806.

Mendelssohn was a violinist himself and the E minor concerto is an intergral part of the violin repertory. The concerto was given its first performance on 13-Mar-1845 when Ferdinand David was soloist. Mendelssohn had agonised over minute details of the work with David yet the final result is one of music of seeming great spontaneity and youthful freshness. This concerto was immediately recognised as a masterpiece and has remained so ever since.
