About
Max Bruch is perhaps the most famous one-work composer, but, as this new disc from cpo demonstrates, his oeuvre continues to hold many a rewarding discovery in store. And when a gifted artist like Antje Weithaas unearths these buried gems, the results are remarkable. On Vol. 2 this superb violinist turns to Bruch’s first violin concerto, the great Serenade, and the gripping In Memoriam.

[Weithaas's] leisurely approach, while not neglecting the need to keep an onwards momentum, is concerned to give each phrase its own expressive character. She's helped by an especially well-balanced accompaniment, with Herman Baumer concerned throughout that countermelodies are clearly projected while giving a varied, always convincing character to the overall sound.
