ViolinLate RomanticConcerto~31 minprofessional
Sibelius's only concerto, born of his abandoned dream of becoming a concert violinist. The opening theme emerges from shimmering strings like a soloist improvising in a frozen Nordic landscape. One of the most technically demanding concertos in the standard repertoire.
