You've heard the Sibelius "VIolin Concerto"? If  'yes', then enjoy another stellar rendition tonight. If 'no' then tune in for this work. I've always thought that there's a little melodic idea that hints at the "Mickey Mouse Club" theme well berfore that theme was written.

Initially violinist Leopold Auer was critical of the solo writing in the Tchaikovsky 'VIolin Concerto'. Years later Auer changed his mind and became one of the works fervent champions.*

Tonight's soloist, Anne-Sophie Mutter, is considered “The undisputed queen of violin playing” according to The Times of London.

Heard Mahler's "Adagietto" but not the entire work that the movement comes from? Tonight is your chance to hear Mahler's 5th in int's entirety, uninterrupted by commercials, on your public radio station.
