Coleridge-Taylor: Legende
Well worth a listen in relaxing violin repertoire is this elegant work by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, a prolific English composer of African descent (not to be confused with the poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge). In the early years of the 20th century, Coleridge-Taylor enjoyed considerable acclaim for his orchestral works, in which he married influences from Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, and Grieg with melodies from African American folk music.
