This Concerto for Violin and Orchestra was completed in 1937 by British composer Arnold Bax (1883 - 1953). In contrast to most of his orchestral output, his final concerto is a relatively sunny piece. The lay-out is traditional, in three movements with a Rondo as the third, and there are some Irish influences in the melodies. The average playing time is 33 minutes (AllMusic). My version is by the Ulster Orchestra under Bryden Thomson on a Chandos CD.
