Beethoven’s Violin Concerto

The American star violinist Joshua Bell joins up with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in a concert where he both leads the orchestra and plays the solo part in Beethoven’s incredibly beautiful Violin Concerto. In the same year Beethoven composed the Violin Concerto, he also wrote his Symphony No. 4, a work full of exalted longing and hopeful light. But even though this work is generally regarded as the least weighty of all Beethoven’s symphonies, the music still also contains a poetic and fateful darkness.
