Violin Concerto in B minor played by Albert Sammons (violin) and the BBC Orchestra (Section B), leader Paul Beard, conducted by Clarence Raybould.
This great soloist has given first performances of works by many British and foreign composers, but it is the Elgar Concerto, which he must have played over a hundred times in public, with which his name will always be associated. It is known everywhere through his playing of it. His interpretation has been declared by experts to be unsurpassed.
It is his proudest memory that Elgar said on the Queen's Hall platform in front of the L.S.O.: 'Nobody plays my Concerto quite like Sammons. He gets to the heart of it!'
