Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61 (cadenzas by Jörg Widmann)
Fragment from Violin Concerto in C Major, WoO 5

For her debut concerto album, violinist Veronika Eberle revisits a work that has endured more than two centuries, and shares a fresh interpretation featuring new cadenzas by composer Jörg Widmann.

“May listeners hear the Violin Concerto in all its stark radicalism, its brazen beauty and its love of experimentation in a new way with these cadenzas: as contemporary music of today.” – Jörg Widmann

Not only is Beethoven’s Violin Concerto a particular favourite of Veronika, it has been central to her career to date most notably alongside Sir Simon Rattle, who has been Veronika’s long-time supporter and collaborator. When she was just 16, Sir Simon introduced her at the 2006 Salzburg Easter Festival, where she performed this very concerto to a packed Salzburg Festpielhaus.

On this album, the pair reunite to bring this sublime masterpiece to life, and to celebrate the work that first brought Veronika to international attention.
