Publisher's Synopsis
(Music Minus One). For the many of you out there who only know Bruch's first violin concerto, we've got news for you: there are two more, both of them wonderful slices of German Romanticism. The second, while for many years overshadowed by Bruch's first concerto, has begun to gain recognition you will understand why when you listen to and play its sublime melodies. Includes a mini-master-class and a newly edited edition from virtuoso soloist Mario Hossen. We can't recommend this one enough! This deluxe 2CD edition includes a special slow-tempo practice version of the accompaniment to help you get up to speed while you practice the piece. Includes a newly-engraved edition of the concerto on high-quality ivory paper, edited complete with performance notes by Mr. Hossen; and a digital stereo compact disc featuring a complete performance of the concerto with orchestra and soloist, followed by a second performance minus you, the soloist; and a second compact disc containing a full-speed version of the complete concerto followed by a special -20% reduced-tempo version of the accompaniment for practice purposes. The concerto is voluminously indexed for your practice and performance convenience. Performed by Mario Hossen, violin Accompaniment: Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov
