Album Notes & Community Reviews

This compilation pairs two staples of the Romantic violin repertoire, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor and Max Bruch's Scottish Fantasia. Both works anchor the nineteenth-century concerto tradition, Mendelssohn's through its through-composed lyricism and Bruch's through its use of Scottish folk melody.
