Beethoven’s only Violin Concerto premiered in 1806 but then languished for decades until Felix Mendelssohn conducted it in London in 1844, 17 years after Beethoven’s death. The Concerto then became a standard in the violin concerto repertory. With American violinist Hilary Hahn, it’s today's Midday Masterpiece.
