Just played dis with an amazing violinist and definitely one of my fav concertos now! The set piece for Queen Elizabeth too!
As some mofo said ‘the saddest piece of music ever written’ - maybe not the last mov but the 1st and 2nd certainly, tis def the great man on the brink of insanity!

I’ve loved this piece for a long time now. There aren’t many great recordings of it, but I’ve always enjoyed the Menuhin and Szeryng ones.
