Violin Concerto in D major, Op 61

Available for over a year

Beethoven laboured over this piece for nearly 10 years and its 1806 premiere was a flop. Forgotten during the rest of his life now it's a celebrated work full of big tunes and bigger demands of the soloist. And what an ending! Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Performer: Alina Ibragimova (Violin) Conductor: Gianandrea Noseda Recording date: 15 July 2006 Date of broadcast: 04 March 2009
