Allegro molto appasionato

Few works in the history of music appeal as universally to performer, listener, scholar, and audience as Mendelssohn Bartholdy's violin concerto in E minor. Simply stated, this appeal is due to the concerto's pervasive melodiousness, skillful resolution of the problems of balance between soloist and orchestra, exquisite scoring, and eloquent finale. 'Spontaneous and refreshing performances' (Classic CD). Outstanding: Fono Forum.
