At the heart of Spanish violinist María Dueñas's DG debut album, 'Beethoven and Beyond', is an intriguingly individual interpretation of the Beethoven 'Violin Concerto'. The work was recorded live at Vienna's Musikverein with the Wiener Symphoniker and Manfred Honeck, and features Dueñas's own newly written cadenzas for each movement. The album also includes a series of showpieces for violin and orchestra by Kreisler, Saint-Saëns, Spohr, Wieniawski and Ysaÿe. To complement these works and the concerto, Dueñas has recorded a companion disc of cadenzas written for the first movement of the Beethoven by those same five composers.
