“There is perhaps no more popular or beloved violin concerto than Mendelssohn’s masterpiece. Taking a journey from darkness to light, it begins restless, mysterious and questioning, and ends in a blaze of colour, full of joy and exhilaration, sustained by virtuosic melodies and lively interplay between soloist and orchestra.
Massenet’s contemplative Meditation is one of the most dramatic violin solos in all operatic literature. Its soaring melodies, and pulsating emotion have made it a favourite of violinists and a hugely popular standalone piece.”
