- Haydn and Mendelssohn
From the Royal Albert Hall, London
There are not many violin concertos that, apart from purely violinistic considerations, deserve to be called 'great' music-perhaps barely a dozen. Among these Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor takes a very high place, for in addition to the beautiful and effective solo writing, the orchestral texture, light and graceful though it is, is intended to be symphonic in importance rather than a mere accompaniment to a brilliant violin solo. Each of the three movements is simple in design and lyrical in appeal.
