Romantic Violin Concertos

Mikhail Pochekin writes of this new release: “Both Violin concertos have in common that they were composed with great violinists in mind. With Mendelssohn it was the violin virtuoso Ferdinand David. And the Bruch Concerto is unthinkable without Sarasate. Both works are based on a similar foundation. What the works have in common, however, is that they are two completely different masterpieces.” (Hänssler Classic)
