Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, Op 28

Sometimes a soloist is so amazing that great composers fight to write for them. In 1863, Saint-Saëns tested the star violinist Pablo Sarasate and, though fiendishly tricky, the Spaniard passed with flying colours. Composer: Camille Saint-Saëns Performer: Esther Yoo (Violin) Performer: Robert Koenig (Piano) Recording date: 23 October 2014 Date of broadcast: 2 January 2015
