Sibelius’s Violin Concerto is one of my favourite concertos – it’s a magnificent, organic, work where the solo violinist’s long unfolding song sounds like a stream of consciousness. This is in 3 parts.
The music:
Jean Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor Op.47
- Allegro moderato
- Adagio di molto
- Allegro, ma non tanto
The players:
Dong-Suk Kang, violin
Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra
Adrian Leaper, conductor
