Edward Elgar's Violin Concerto in B Minor Op. 61 premiered on this day in 1910 | Commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society of London, Elgar said of the work: "It's good! Awfully emotional! Too emotional, but I love it!” | The first performance was given by Fritz Kreisler, with Elgar conducting the London Symphony Orchestra | In this clip, violinist Itzhak Perlman performs the work with conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky and the BBC Symphony Orchestra | Read more at https://theviolinchannel.co
