Dvořák’s music for solo instrument and orchestra has aged well. The Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 53 has gained popularity in recent decades, which would have satisfied a composer whose work was criticised by celebrated violinist Joseph Joachim.

The thoughtful melody from the work’s slow movement contrasts nicely with brighter aspirations in the finale, where the right hand of the piano enjoys Dvořák’s rustic writing for violin.
