Summary: This week we have a Patreon-sponsored episode looking at the Brahms Violin Concerto. This is a piece inextricably linked with the great violinist Joseph Joachim. We'll talk all about the genesis of the concerto, and the lively back and forth Brahms and Joachim shared over the more difficult parts of the piece. Along with the structure of this masterpiece, we'll also compare 3 recordings from Heifetz, Oistrakh, and Ferras, exploring how great violinists of the past tackled this monumental challenge.
