Violin concerto No. 1, Op. 26 - Max Bruch

어릴 때, 고향 집 골목을 거닐며 가슴 아픈 기억을 떠올리며 듣노라 할아버지도, 아버지도, 어머니도 다 떠나고 나만 남은 세상에서 잘 해주지 못해 안타까운 세월. 우리의 세월은 오직 내 기억 속에서만 숨 쉬나니.. 거기에 그대들이 연주를 하고, 나는 여기에 앉아 그대들의 생명을 듣노라, 이는 나의 기억의 사치, 뺨까지 떨어지는 나의 눈물로 보답하네

that 3rd movement has got to be one of the greatest interactions between violin and orchestra ever written

Max Bruch is one of those composers with whom a single work is almost exclusively associated. The popularity of his violin concerto in G minor thus eclipsed his entire production. If he was not necessarily understood in his time, Bruch testified to a true genius of which this concerto is the perfect incarnation. The concerto, in its definitive version, finally knew how to touch the public and remains, today, one of the most popular in the violin repertoire. How can you resist the rhapsodic and elegiac accents of this score, which offers the soloist the opportunity to shine as much by his virtuosity as by his lyricism ! The first movement « Vorspiel : Allegro Moderato » is like a long introduction to the following two which are as intense as they are contrasting. In the second part « Adagio », the composer testifies to his melodic genius through a cantilena of overwhelming emotional power. As for the swirling « Finale : Allegro Energico » it allows the soloist to deploy the most dizzying virtuosity. Its violinist and dedicatee Joseph Joachim will write : The Germans have four violin concertos. The largest, the freest of concessions, is that of Beethoven. That of Johannes Brahms, by its seriousness, is in line with Beethoven. The richest, the most bewitching, was written by Max Bruch. But the most interior, the jewel of the heart, comes to us from Felix Mendelssohn. It seems to me that everything is said after this soothing reflection arising from its historical context. Lucien

Lucie played really well. Still remember my kids and I watched Joshua Bell performed this at Tanglewood many years ago. It really is not easy to perform in most old churches though. The acoustic is usually really bad. However, it seems that's what Europeans do. My daughter did it once and she said you basically couldn't hear what other players played. Now my kids are in college and beyond and I really miss those days listening to classical music with them.

1st mouvement : Allegro moderato - 0:00 2nd mouvement : Adagio - 9:11 3rd mouvement : Final - Allegro Energico - 18:12
