Ilya Kaler (violin)
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Pietari Inkinen

One of the most popular concertos in the repertoire, Brahms’ Violin Concerto was completed in 1878 and dedicated to his friend Joseph Joachim, whose cadenza is heard on this recording. An essentially lyrical work, the Concerto includes a slow movement of great beauty, which gives way to a Hungarian-style finale of mounting excitement.

Schumann’s thoughtful and poetic Violin Concerto was not performed until 1937. In spite of the enthusiastic advocacy of Yehudi Menuhin, who saw in the Concerto a link between Beethoven and Brahms, it remains to this day an underrated work with many passages of great beauty.

“Kaler plays with bright intensity” The Daily Telegraph

“Ilya Kaler has great romantic warmth....In short this is first class in every way” Penguin Guide on 8.550758
