In the first movement (around :31) Martin quotes from his choral setting of "Come Unto These Yellow Sands" (from Shakespeare's The Tempest), part of his "Five Ariel Songs", his only English-language work. The spirit of Ariel haunts this concerto; Martin was at work on his full-evening operatic setting of the play (in German, as Der Sturm) at this time.

Didn't even know this composer! Great violin concerto, reminds me so much of Bartok's first violin concerto
