Over het album

The violin Concertos of Mendelssohn and Bruch have long been popular cornerstones of the Romantic Era repertoire, and have never been out od the publics ear, regardless of changing musical tastes. Composed 23 years apart, they represent two vastly different approaches to the expressive possibilities of the violin as a solo instrument. It is perhaps these differences that make the pairing of these two pieces so compelling on many recordings since the advent of the Long Playing records.
