More details

Beethoven's Violin Concerto is so popular with audiences today that it's perhaps surprising it hardly made an impact at its premiere. Opening with an almost jazz drum tap the expansively elegant opening movement makes way for a set of theme and variations, serene and beauteous, before a catchy and lively Rondo bursts into energy to round off the work, performed by the inimitable Veronika Eberle.
