Brahms & Joachim - Violin Concertos


Brahms:

Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77

Joachim:

Violin Concerto in Hungarian Style in D minor, Op. 11


Christian Teztlaff (violin)

Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Thomas Dausgaard

If Brahms’ Violin Concerto needs no presenting as one of the great concertos of the Romantic repertoire, Joseph Joachim’s Violin Concerto is lesser known to the general public, and it is noteworthy to say that each concerto was dedicated from one to the other composer - the Austro-Hungarian violinist, composer, conductor (1831-1907) dedicated, in 1860, his Violin Concerto to his friend Johannes Brahms who later dedicated his own great violin concerto to Joachim, in 1878. Joachim’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor "in the Hungarian Manner" is a long and demanding work for the soloist, which may explain that it isn’t performed regularly.

“This Brahms Concerto is a genuine dialogue-urgent, communicative and powerfully emotive.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008

“…an unusually fresh and impressive Brahms Concerto. Right from the start, Thomas Dausgaard finds a genuine allegro that manages to flow without ever sounding pressurised.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ****
