Award-winning Moldovan violinist, Patricia Kopatchinskaja, presents a new vision of Beethoven’s complete works for violin and orchestra. She is accompanied by the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées under the direction of esteemed Belgian conductor, Philippe Herreweghe.
The release offers us fresh insights into Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Op.61, based on historical evidence, using period instruments. Kopatchinskaja contributes her own adaptations of Beethoven’s original cadenzas for the piano version of the concerto.
The Romances are performed here in a simple, lyrical style typical of the slow movements of late 18th-century French violin concertos.
Alongside the Concerto and the Romances, the recording features the rarely recorded Fragment: the only known part of an unfinished Concerto in C major.
