Juraj Valčuha & Gil Shaham: Violin Concerto in D Major, op. 77 Brahms (+1 More)

Concerto For Violin And Orchestra In D Major Op. 77

Symphony No. 10 in E minor, Op 93

Joshua Dos

Approved

Brahms was dismayed by the lukewarm response to his sole Violin Concerto, but now it’s impossible to imagine the Romantic violin repertoire without it. Juraj Valčuha and Gil Shaham return for a luminous reading of the ultimate sleeper hit. Shostakovich’s intensely passionate, profoundly ambivalent Symphony No. 10 brims over with real-life references—ranging from a portrait of the late Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to musically coded proxies for the composer himself and the object of his hopeless midlife crush.
