Composer:
Aram Khachaturian

Artist(s):
Mihaela Martin

Conductor:
Theodore Kuchar

Background: Aram Khachaturian wrote his Violin Concerto for David Oistrakh in 1940, a work which cemented the composer’s international reputation. The second in a triptych of concertos, it continues directly the lineage of large-scale romantic violin concertos and retains much of its popularity today.

The later Concerto-Rhapsody in B flat minor was written for Leonid Kogan and is one of three concerto-rhapsodies written by the composer in the 1960s. Both works show the influence of the folk music of Khachaturian’s native Armenia and, from Slavic brooding to incisive rhythms, demonstrate typically masterful orchestration.
