One of my favorite pieces of music: Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto
Samuel Barber is one of my all-time favorite composers, and his violin concerto is one of my favorite musical works. Violin Concerto Op.14 was written in 1939 when Samuel Barber was about 30 years old. This violin concerto has three "movements" or sections, hence the three videos below.
Giora Schmidt is the violin soloist, and the orchestra is the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra
First Movement: Allegro
Second Movement: Andante
Third Movement: Presto
