About

If Brahms’ Violin Concerto needs no presenting as one of the great concertos of the Romantic repertoire, Joseph Joachim’s Violin Concerto is lesser known to the general public, and it is noteworthy to say that each concerto was dedicated from one to the other composer - the Austro-Hungarian violinist, composer, conductor (1831-1907) dedicated, in 1860, his Violin Concerto to his friend Johannes Brahms who later dedicated his own great violin concerto to Joachim, in 1878. 
 
Joachim’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor "in the Hungarian Manner" is a long and demanding work for the soloist, which may explain that it isn’t performed regularly.
 
The brilliant German violinist Christian Tetzlaff has recorded extensively for Virgin Classics both in its early days and more recently as guest artist. His recording for the label of Bartok’s Violin Sonatas with Leif Ove Andsnes proved a world-wide success for its genre and was even nominated for a Grammy Award in 2006.
