Violin Concerto / Sonata no. 3

Album by Johannes Brahms & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim & Maxim Vengerov

The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, and the Violin Sonata No. 3 in D minor, Op. 108, are compositions by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1878 and 1888 respectively. Both works exemplify Brahms's late-Romantic idiom, combining classical forms with rich harmonic language, expansive orchestral or piano textures and demanding, virtuosic writing for the solo violin, and they occupy notable positions in his middle-to-late career as central pieces of the violin repertoire.
