Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61

I like Ludwig-don't you? Join us as we ring in the New Year with music of Ludwig van Beethoven. His Second Symphony shocked contemporary audiences in 1802; one critic called it "a hideously writhing, wounded dragon that refuses to die." Nor was Beethoven's Violin Concerto popular at first, but these two youthful compositions were groundbreaking works of incredible genius. Robin Sharp, the SFCO's brilliant concertmaster, is our featured soloist.
