Bruch Violin Concerto in G minor Op 26 HN

Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto in g minor made its him world-famous and added a towering masterpiece to the standard repertoire. Bruch himself was not always overjoyed at his work’s popularity: "I can’t listen to this concerto anymore," he once complained to his publisher Simrock, "do you suppose I’ve only written one concerto?" By now the Bruch Concerto has found a permanent place in the world’s concert halls. Henle’s edition provides not only a razor-sharp urtext for the solo part, but a preface that alone is worth the price of the volume.
