J. Brahms: Symphony No. 1 & H. Vieuxtemps: Violin Concerto No. 5

Brahms, Johannes | Vieuxtemps, Henri

WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln | Böhm, Karl (conductor) | Bobesco, Lola (violin)

release date: 2007.06.20

"This Brahms First is incredibly dynamic, more so than Böhm's recording with the Vienna Philharmonic more than a decade later, although the orchestra surely is not the VPO. Of interest is the Violin Concerto No. 5 of Vieuxtemps featuring Romanian violinist Lola Bobesco, highly regarded by connoisseurs, but with a somewhat limited career. Obviously, from her performance in this broadcast, she was a major violinist." (classicalcdreview.com)
