Violin Concerto No. 1 / Scottish Fantasy

Album by Max Bruch & Arthur Grumiaux & Philharmonia Orchestra & Heinz Wallberg

This recording pairs two orchestral works by German composer Max Bruch, composed in 1866 and 1880 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Romantic-era violin repertoire, featuring sweeping lyrical melodies, rich orchestral textures and virtuosic solo writing that bridge 19th-century melodic Romanticism and late-Romantic orchestral colour, and they are frequently performed and recorded, forming a significant part of the violin repertoire.
First released: 1st August 2007
