Violin Concerto in D Major: Op. 35
One of Tchaikovsky's most popular works, this concerto is a staple of the concert violinist's repertoire and, according to Grove's , "one of the least pretentious and freshest of Tchaikovsky's works." It is also praised for its melodic flow and its pervasive sense of creative delight.

About the author
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
1,748books66followersPyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Пётр Ильич Чайковский) was a Russian composer of the Romantic era. While not part of the nationalistic music group known as "The Five", Tchaikovsky wrote music which was distinctly Russian: plangent, introspective, with modally-inflected melody and harmony.
Tchaikovsky considered himself a professional composer. He felt his professionalism in combining skill and high standards in his musical works separated him from his colleagues in "The Five." He shared several of their ideals, including an emphasis on national character in music. His aim, however, was linking those ideals with a professional standard high enough to satisfy European criteria. His professionalism also fueled his desire to reach a broad public, not just nationally but internationally, which he would eventually do.

Un derroche de imaginación, fuerza melódica y desafío técnico, una gran fiesta musical en el que al solista, aparte de ser rápido y arriesgado, se le exige ser humano.
