100 Candles for Elgar's Violin Concerto
On November 10, 1910, Edward Elgar led the premiere of his Violin Concerto in London. Fritz Kreisler played violin that evening. On the 100th anniversary of that concert, we'll hear a 2010 concert performance featuring that very same violin. Nikolaj Znaider plays that amazing instrument, Mark Elder conducts the Halle Orchestra, in concert in Manchester, England.
