Ludwig Spohr - Violin Concerto No. 1 part 1

Ludwig Spohr (also known as Louis Spohr outside of Germany) was born on April 5, 1784 in Braunschweig, Germany to Karl Heinrich Spohr and Juliane Ernestine Luise Henke. Ludwig could play a number of instruments by the age of 15 and was touring with a mentor, an accomplished musician himself, by the age of 18. I have listened to this concerto a number of times and once my stuff comes out of storage, I will be able to listen to the complete concerto in far better quality than you can listen to it here. The young man that posted this video on YouTube can be seen playing the violin in the Tonhalle in Zurich, Switzerland. - Volker
