Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto E Min Op 64 Bk/2cd

Performed by Geoffrey Applegate, violin

Accompaniment: Vienna Symphony Orchestra

Conductor: Franz Litschauer



Felix Mendelssohn worked on this concerto for six years. It is truly one of the most beautiful and popular in concerto literature – eloquent, passionate, lofty, and brilliant. A romantic-era classic of epic proportions. This new digitally remastered version of one of MMO's most popular editions brings new sonic brilliance, plus a newly engraved “urtext” score with orchestral reduction printed along the solo part; and a second compact disc featuring two alternate versions, one a slightly slower 'traditional' tempo version and also a further slowed practice version of the accompaniment to help you get up to speed!
