Elgar, Edward mvt1(begin) violin concerto Allegro

[PatB1248]

This seems to be the recording by Dong-Suk Kang with the Polish National Radio Orchestra on the Naxos label, at 45 minutes one of the shortest recordings. Some drag out the playing but here both soloist and orchestra are beautifully matched in this tense and tight performance which makes no concessions. The first movement especially, with its all-pervading feelings of yearning and somehow regret, is wonderful. And thanks so much Henri for the score too!
