Leila Josefowicz turned out to be a fantastic partner in this process. She knows no limits, she knows no fear, and she was constantly encouraging me to go to places I was not sure I would dare to go.

Esa-Pekka Salonen Returns​​ To Conduct His Violin Concerto featuring American-Canadian virtuoso violinist Leila Josefowicz,
Once the well-respected musical director of the LA Philharmonic Orchestra, Esa-Pekka Salonen marks a triumphant return to conduct a series of his very own concertos. The second in the series features his Violin Concerto and American-Canadian virtuoso violinist Leila Josefowicz, the performer for which he wrote it.
Finished in 2009, Salonen's only concerto for violin was immediately praised as one of his major works. A collaboration between himself and Josefowicz, the piece was written just as the composer's 17 year tenure at the LA Philharmonic and is a poignant summing up of everything he learnt during his time with the world class orchestra - it encompasses moods and technique from incredibly technical and flashy, to brutally aggressive, to soft meditative stillness and warm nostalgia.
