Berliner Philharmoniker, Zubin Mehta, Pinchas Zukerman

Antonín Dvořák became famous for the folk-inspired Bohemian character of his music. But in his Symphony No. 7 he shows a very different side: none of his earlier symphonies was as dark, melancholic, and defiant. In contrast, Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto, his best-known work, captivates with its beguiling lyricism and elegant virtuosity.
