I bought this Deutsche Grammophon recording (Barber: Concerto for violin Op14; Korngold: Much Ado about Nothing Op11) after hearing these pieces performed by Orchestra London in Spring 2006. On this CD, Gil Shaham offers a fantastic performance (violin), directed by Andre Previn.Here’s a melody I enjoy from Track 6, the “Finale: Allegro assai vivace” from Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s “Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major”…
