Elvin Hoxha , one of the world's most famous violinists, has already broken a new record in his musical career.
Today, a major artistic undertaking has been released on digital platforms, two concertos for Violin and Orchestra by the legendary composer, Felix Mendelssohn.
The two concertos in D and E Minor, with 3 movements each, were performed by the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, one of the most elite orchestras in Germany, where the conductor was the Anglo-Swiss, Howard Griffiths, a big name in classical and concert music.
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's two violin concertos offer a compelling answer. Between the thirteen-year-old prodigy of 1822 and the mature master of 1844, not only does the development of an extraordinary composer unfold, but also the full spectrum of Mendelssohn's aesthetic: a love of form coupled with a willingness to innovate, a combination of technical excellence with emotional immediacy, and a balance between tradition and progress.
