Violin Concerto in D major, Op 77

Available for over a year

Violin concertos don’t get much grander or more musically satisfying than this. The first movement alone is one of his greatest achievements, with a seemingly simple theme giving way to music of tenderness and beauty. A moving Adagio, and a joyful Allegro Giocoso make for perhaps the greatest violin concerto of all.
