Virtuoso Fedor Rudin plays and conducts Mendelssohn's sunny, romantic masterpiece with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra. There's also music by Bach, Beethoven and Britten.

Presented by Ian Skelly

One of his best-loved works, the violin concerto was the last concerto he wrote and it has delighted audiences for over 150 years, indeed it was the first piece of music released on LP record. We have a more up-to-date recording, though, made in Prague in November.
