Saint Saens/ Wieniawski/ Rachlin/ Mehta - Violin Concerto 3 / Violin Concerto 2

Both Camille Saint-Saens and Henri Wieniawski are (unjustifiably) undervalued composers outside the concert halls of their own respective nations. Both concertos presented here are now firmly established in the range of most popular virtuosic pieces for violin and orchestra. Violin virtuoso Julian Rachlin recorded these concerti at the tender age of 16. The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is led by the esteemed conductor Zubin Mehta, whose intimate connection to this orchestra goes back decades.
