Beethoven & Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos

Yehudi Menuhin and Wilhelm Furtwängler shared the same philosophical and spiritual approach to making music. Indeed, after he first played the Beethoven Violin Concerto under Furtwängler's baton, Menuhin wondered whether he could ever perform it with another conductor. This, their second recording of the work, was made in London in 1953, the year after they recorded the Mendelssohn Concerto in Berlin.
