Felix Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64, 1st Movement, Allegro Molto Apassionato
Performed by Leonid Kogan (violin) and Orchestra Conducted by Maestro Lorin Maazel
Berlin, 1974
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) is one of the most important composers of the Romantic era. His Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64, is considered one of the great masterpieces of the violin repertoire. The creation of this concerto is a fascinating story of collaboration and friendship.
The Violin Concerto in E Minor was composed between 1838 and 1844. Mendelssohn began working on the concerto in 1838, but due to his numerous professional and personal obligations, he did not complete it until 1844. The gestation of this work was marked by a close collaboration with the famous violinist Ferdinand David, a close friend of Mendelssohn.
Ferdinand David was the concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, where Mendelssohn was the conductor. David not only inspired Mendelssohn but also significantly contributed to the development of the solo part of the concerto. The exchange of letters between Mendelssohn and David shows how the composer sought advice and suggestions from the violinist, making this work unique in its collaborative approach.
The premiere of the concerto took place on March 13, 1845, at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, with Ferdinand David as the soloist and Niels Gade conducting in place of Mendelssohn, who was ill. The reception was extremely positive, and the concerto quickly gained popularity.
The Violin Concerto in E Minor stands out for its immediate opening with the solo violin, breaking with the tradition of an orchestral introduction. The first movement, Allegro molto appassionato, is particularly famous for its passionate melody and virtuosic passages. The second movement, Andante, offers a lyrical and serene contrast, while the finale, Allegro molto vivace, is full of energy and joy.
Since its creation, the concerto has become a staple of the violin repertoire, performed by the greatest violinists around the world. Its blend of technical virtuosity and deep expressiveness continues to captivate audiences and showcase the talents of soloists.
Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor remains a lasting testament to the composer's ability to combine melodic beauty, innovative structure, and intense emotion, ensuring its place among the greatest works of classical music.
