Description
Summary:	Violinist Frank-Michael Erben performs Mendelssohn's op. 64 concerto with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Kurt Masur conducting. This concerto was composed at the time in which the violin dramatically changed. The four strings were stretched tighter than in the 18th century, and the fingerboard and the neck were extended. The instrument was now lighter and more precise to play. The sound was louder and could play over the orchestra. Thus began a new epoch for the violin concerto.
