Performed by Geoffrey Applegate, violin Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn Beethoven composed this work, his only violin concerto, in 1806, in the same year that he composed the Symphony No. 5, the Rasoumowsky Quartets, and the Piano Concerto No. 4. It was dedicated to Franz Clement, who at its premiere separated the first movement from the second and third movements and fiddled some of his own works in between, with the violin turned upside-down! We can assume that Beethoven never spoke to him again. And needless to say the world took this concerto to its heart, as it has never left the repertoire. A magnificent piece. Contains a printed score and two compact discs featuring the concerto with soloist in digitally remastered stereo then again in a digital stereo accompaniment version minus the solo violin part.

When she was only three years old, little Ida Haendel put aside her dolls, took her sister's violin, and tried, without any instruction, to play the song her mother was singing in the kitchen. This was the beginning of one of the most amazing musical careers in the 20th century, and hänssler CLASSIC is proud to release these treasured performances.
