Beethoven: Violin Concerto, Op. 61, Septet, Op. 20 & Variations on Folk Songs, Op. 105 & 107
The virtuoso violinist Leonidas Kavakos thoughtfully complements his recording of the Beethoven Violin Concerto, which he conducts himself, with other works by the 250-year-old master. Kavakos is joined by the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks in the concerto, and performs the contrasting, light-hearted Septet with musicians drawn from the orchestra. A selection of variations on folk songs, with Kavakos accompanied by Enrico Pace, show another side of Beethoven.
