For her debut concerto album, violinist Veronika Eberle revisited a work that has endured more than two centuries, and shared a fresh interpretation featuring new cadenzas by composer Jörg Widmann. Following the success of this album, released originally in 2023, LSO Live is pleased to release a vinyl edition.'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 WidmannNot 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.'Eberle plays these new [cadenzas] with dazzling virtuosity, and her live performance of the Concerto itself with Simon Rattle and the LSO has just the right amount of warmth and expressive freedom.'– BBC Music Magazine'Eberle fills every tone with life and meaning, and the musicians of the London Symphony Orchestra under Simon Rattle are her wonderful partners.'– NDR'Add the defiant dialogue in the final movement cadenza, and you have a must-listen recording for lovers of classical and contemporary music.'– Stereophile
