While Max Bruch's first violin concerto is one of the most popular in the repertoire, his other two remain relatively unknown. The second, dedicated to the virtuoso Pablo Sarasate, opens with a rhapsodic Adagio brimming with sublime melodies, its declamatory middle movement leading to a rhythmic finale. In contrast, the third, from 1891, launches heroically, the soloist taking centre-stage in the lyrical Adagio middle movement, a perpetuum mobile rondo finale capping the work. Maxim Fedotov's recording of Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 can be heard on Naxos 8.557689. His recording of the Scottish Fantasy is available on 8.557395.
"It is…good to welcome these new accounts to the market…the advantages of state-of-the-art recording techniques are immediately apparent in the immense gains in clarity and orchestral translucence…At the usual highly attractive Naxos price, I imagine that many lovers of the concerto no. 1 might well be tempted by this disc to explore Bruch's music a little further…acquaintance with the second and third concertos will at least show them in quite an agreeable manner that the composer had more strings to his bow (sorry!) than they had, perhaps, hitherto supposed."
