product description
Johannes Brahms
Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Orchestra in A minor, Op. 102
With his Double Concerto for Violin and Cello in A minor, Op. 102, Johannes Brahms turned to a form that had nearly been forgotten due to the soloist culture of the Romantic era. In a letter to Clara Schumann, he describes his unusual project: "I can tell you something quite amusing. I have, you see, had the funny idea of writing a concerto for violin and cello." The external reason for this composition was the reconciliation with his longtime friend Joseph Joachim, for whom Brahms had already written the Violin Concerto. With this concerto, which he intended to dedicate to Joachim, Brahms attempted to rekindle their friendship. This had been heavily strained since the marital conflict in which Brahms sided with Joachim's wife, Amalie Joachim. Indeed, the joint premiere of the work took place under the composer's direction on October 18, 1887, in Cologne.
Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68
Johannes Brahms' turn to the genre of symphony occurred relatively late in his compositional career and after much struggle with Beethoven's symphonic legacy. Brahms, unlike any other, was aware that the symphonic idea had to be established as a counterdraft to Beethoven's works without, however, breaking the formal framework. While Robert Schumann praised the young composer Brahms as a potential successor to Beethoven in his article "New Paths" (published in 1853 in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik founded by him), it took nearly twenty more years for the self-critical Brahms to actually find his way to the symphonic form.
The final shape demonstrates how Brahms treated the adopted formal schema individually and unconventionally in several aspects. Already the first bars of the opening movement contain the entire thematic material in germinal form, conceived as a growing organism.
Soloists:
Elena Graf (Violin)
Emanuel Graf (Cello)
