BRUCH Violin Concerto
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1
“I shall never write a symphony,” Brahms said when young. He was fearful of the inevitable comparisons to Beethoven, and it took the otherwise prolific composer 14 years to produce his first symphony. When it was unveiled, audiences joyfully dubbed it “Beethoven’s Tenth”, in part because the great melody of the finale resembles the Ode to Joy ("any ass can see that", Brahms said). But Brahms has emerged from under Beethoven’s shadow and his first symphony, with its rich melodies and colorful orchestrations is recognized as one of the great composers in his own right, and his first symphony is a magnificent work in its own right. Renowned violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider joins the orchestra for Bruch’s popular violin concerto.
