About
The three works gathered here all resulted from the friendship between the composer and the Spanish violinist Pablo de Sarasate. The melodious and charming violin concerto held a great significance for Lalo who regarded it as his first work truly worthy of the name. The première of Symphonie espagnole in 1875 was followed by performances all over Europe in the expert hands of Sarasate.
