Essential Albums
- As did so many of his works, Beethoven’s only violin concerto, premiered in 1806, changed the scale and perception of the form; its first movement, at about 25 minutes in duration, would accommodate some of Mozart’s in their entirety. But it’s not just about length. Beethoven’s work has symphonic ambitions, and its message is altogether weightier. It is, perhaps, the first great Romantic violin concerto, and its masterpiece status comes across impressively in Itzhak Perlman and Carlo Maria Giulini’s Gramophone- and Grammy Award-winning 1981 recording. Playing with his customary style and flair, Perlman is wonderfully expressive yet also highly dramatic, and Giulini is a superb partner. A classic recording.

About Philharmonia Orchestra
The Philharmonia Orchestra was born in London from the ashes of World War Two, when record producer Walter Legge spotted an opportunity to establish a new top-quality orchestra as professional players returned from military service. Legge recruited with an expert eye, and the Philharmonia gave its first concert in October 1945, conducted by Thomas Beecham. Working with leading conductors such as Herbert von Karajan, the Philharmonia quickly developed a trademark style, combining technical brilliance with a richly expressive tonal palette. Legge ensured that the Philharmonia made numerous recordings, including Wilhelm Furtwängler’s classic 1952 account of Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde. The orchestra’s association with the veteran German conductor Otto Klemperer was also deeply consequential: he became the first permanent conductor in 1957, and his Beethoven, Brahms and Mahler symphonies with the orchestra were widely viewed as unimpeachable. Riccardo Muti, Christoph von Dohnányi and Esa-Pekka Salonen all played important roles in sustaining the Philharmonia’s international profile after Klemperer’s retirement in 1970. Salonen oversaw pioneering initiatives in online interactions with the orchestra, significantly increasing its digital footprint. In May 2019, the Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali was named the sixth principal conductor in the Philharmonia’s history.
