The violin was Edward Elgar’s own instrument and his Violin Concerto is
almost like a personal confession: it was ‘too emotional’, Elgar admitted,
adding that he loved it nonetheless. The solo part is one of the most
exhausting in the repertoire – a veritable compendium of bravura violin
techniques. In an interview, Fritz Kreisler, to whom the Violin Concerto is
dedicated, ranked Elgar with Beethoven and Brahms. Elgar met the
challenge: his Violin Concerto combines the singing quality of Beethoven with the symphonic drama of Brahms.
The London-born Gerald Finzi was in many ways more English than Elgar
and his teacher Ralph Vaughan Williams. As can be heard in his Violin
Concerto, a well kept secret from 1927, that had its first performance after
the premiere only in 1999. The work lasts twenty minutes: a six-minute
allegro, a superb central ten-minute molto sereno, and ending with a four-minute
hornpipe rondo. It is difficult to understand why Finzi was
dissatisfied with his two fast movements. The first combines beauty with
energy. Through its sheer romantic beauty, the molto sereno is one of
t hose pieces where the hairs stand up on the back of the neck.
