Violin Concerto / Academic Festival Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Ivan Cerkov & Münchner Symphoniker & Helmut Bucher

Violin Concerto / Academic Festival Overture is a classical album of works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1878 and 1880. The Violin Concerto pairs virtuosic solo violin writing with expansive, late-Romantic orchestral textures while the Academic Festival Overture offers a buoyant, ceremonially inflected orchestral piece, and together they illustrate Brahms's mature command of large-scale forms and his role in late 19th-century orchestral repertoire.
