Violin Concerto

Album by Johannes Brahms & Henryk Szeryng & London Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77 is a violin concerto by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1878 and premiered in 1879. Rooted in the Romantic tradition, the work combines substantial orchestral writing with demanding virtuosic passages for the solo violin and a broad, lyrical slow movement, and it is Brahms's only violin concerto, reflecting his mature late-1870s focus on large-scale orchestral and chamber forms.
First released: December 1962
