Summary: Violinist Nikolaj Znaider discusses Elgar's Violin Concerto, which he will be playing on the very instrument that was used at the work's premiere 100 years ago. Composer-conductor Victoria Bond travels back in time to explore what Mozart was doing when he wrote his Symphony No. 36, Linz, and joins podcast host Mark Travis in a discussion of Elgar's Introduction and Allegro — a work the composer described as "a devil of a fugue" — and his Violin Concerto, considered by many to be one of Elgar's most personal expressions in music.
