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. |

I can only speak about it in enthusiastic tones and never cease to be delighted by the admirable tonal beauty of it’s strings, the clarity and purity of it’s woodwinds, the softness and the same time the power of it’s brass, the accuracy of it’s ensemble playing, and each individual musician’s tremendous understanding of his task.”
