Brahms: Violin Concerto; Double Concerto

Brahms: Violin Concerto in D Op77; Concerto in Am Op102

Shaham; Mayer; Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra; Abbado - Shaham; Wang; Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra; Abbado

This album sees Gil Shaham performing the well-loved Brahms Concerto with the rich tone and beauty of line that defines his style. For the Double Concerto cellist Jian Wang joins Shaham, in a performance that is so compelling it must be heard to be believed. Claudio Abbado leads both performances with close attention to detail, but yet always allowing the fiery virtuosity of the soloists to shine through.

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"Coupled with the Double Concerto, [the Violin Concerto] is one of the most impressive of modern versions, intense and full of imagination. Recorded live, it shows Shaham at his spontaneous best."

Gramophone

"In its urgency and sense of drama [Shaham's version] is one of the most impressive for a long time, coupled with a comparably strong and warm reading of the Double Concerto with Jian Wang as fellow-soloist...Altogether an outstanding issue and a clear recommendation."

Gramophone

"It makes an ideal and generous coupling having Brahm's two concertos for stringed instruments on a single disc, and these are outstanding versions of both works. The Violin Concerto comes in a live recording which in its urgency and sense of drama is among the most impressive for a long time."
