Programme Note
Schumann’s only Violin Concerto, completed almost exactly 171 years ago, near the end of his life, was unfortunately lost to the world for about 80 years after his death, finally re-surfacing in the 1930s, with the help of a séance (allegedly!) and Yehudi Menuhin who, after playing it through himself, stated that it was “the historically missing link of the violin literature”.
