Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)

VIOLIN CONCERTO IN D MAJOR, Op.77

Gil Shaham (violin)

The Knights / Eric Jacobsen (conductor)

Canary Classics    2019

The Knights : The Knights are proud to be known as "one of Brooklyn's sterling cultural products...known far beyond the borough for their relaxed virtuosity and expansive repertory" (The New Yorker)

Notes: "This CD therefore brings together two of the greatest concertos for violin and orchestra in the entire repertory of Western music."

1. Allegro non troppo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LESBetOxvTc

3. Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbkhphbpdto

Brooklyn never ceases to amaze me.  Music gurus, Baptist Church Choirs, and now a Symphony Orchestra.  What next??  The Dodgers return???
