Released on July 29, 2016, under Everest Records, this album is a masterful blend of two iconic violin concertos that showcase the orchestra's unparalleled artistry and precision.

This concerto is a staple of the classical repertoire, known for its grace and technical brilliance. The first movement, "Allegro," is lively and engaging, the second movement, "Adagio," is a serene and melodic interlude, and the third movement, "Allegro," brings the concerto to a joyful and exuberant finish.
Performed by the esteemed London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Sir Eugene Goossens, with Joseph Fuchs on violin, this album is a testament to the enduring power of classical music. The orchestra's rich, resonant sound and the soloist's virtuosic playing create a listening experience that is both profound and uplifting.
