Mendelssohn / Britten: Violin Concertos
Bohren,sebastian / Liverpool Philharmonic
After the go-ahead of his recording of the complete Sonatas and Partitas for violin solo by Johann Sebastian Bach, Swiss violinist Sebastian Bohren now presents a unique combination of masterpieces for violin and orchestra. Besides the famous Violin Concerto in E minor by Mendelssohn (one of the most famous violin concertos par excellence), Sebastian has recorded Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto, Op. 15. This work was written from 1938 to 1939 and dedicated to Henry Boys, Britten had to simplify the solo part for its dedicatee, but later restored its technical pyrotechnics. The program is completed by Tchaikovsky's "Sérénade Mélancolique", It was the composer's first work for violin and orchestra, and was written immediately after completing the Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor. After the recording of Beethoven's Violin Concerto and an album with Hartmann's "Concerto Funebre", this compilation is Sebastian's third big scaled concert regording, this time with an internationally renowned orchestra.
