About

Dutch violinist Niek Baar joins the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie under the direction of Christoph Poppen to perform two classic violin concertos from the mid-19th century: Robert Schumann’s Violin Concerto in D minor and Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto no.1 in G minor.

Both of these violin concertos were written for the legendary Joseph Joachim, who had a hand in shaping the final form of both pieces, although ultimately his changes to the Schumann were rejected by the composer. The highly original, introverted and melancholic Concerto is a moving self-portrait of the 43-year-old Schumann a few years before his death, and Bruch’s no.1 is one of the most beloved concertos of the entire repertoire.
