Review

"This collected Duo edition contains much attractive music, beautifully played and recorded, guaranteed to delight anyone wanting undemanding symphonies as alternatives to those of Brahms of Schumann. Masur's performances with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra are characteristically warm and refined, with smooth recording to match."

-- Penguin Guide [2003/4 Edition]

"Exciting music-making is provided in the assortment of violin works where Accardo appears completely attuned to Bruch’s lyrical vein, managing to convince me that the deeply affecting In memoriam hardly deserves to languish in almost total obscurity."

-- Erik Levi, BBC Music Magazine

Max Bruch (6 January 1838 in Cologne – 2 October 1920 in Berlin) was a German Romantic composer and conductor. He wrote over 200 works, including three violin concertos, and was best known for his first violin concerto, which is a staple of the violin repertory and one of the most popular Romantic violin concertos. His complex and unfailingly well-structured works, in the German Romantic musical tradition, placed him in the camp of Romantic classicism exemplified by Johannes Brahms, rather than the opposing "New Music" of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner. In his time he was known primarily as a choral composer.

***

Kurt Masur (born 18 July 1927 in Brieg, Lower Silesia, Germany – 19 December 2015 in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA) is a German conductor. Masur studied conducting, composition and piano at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig, but never finished his studies. Called "one of the last old-style maestros", he directed many of the principal orchestras of his era. He was Kapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig (1970-1996), music director of the New York Philharmonic (1991-2002) and principal conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra (2000-2007).
