Performed by Geoffrey Applegate, violin Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn Max Bruch's sumptuous Romantic masterpiece has remained an audience favorite since it was published in 1868. Its dedicatee, the great violinist Joseph Joachim, had considerable input and, as in the Brahms concerto, his contributions add to its unstoppable lustre. In typical three-movement form, it is a spectacularly lush concerto of the highest order and its intoxicating spell usually takes a firm grip on even the most jaded cynics. Guaranteed to please both player and audience! Contains a printed score and online audio featuring demonstration and backing tracks so you can play the lead with the orchestra. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

It made its creator world-famous and added a towering masterpiece to the standard repertoire: Max Bruch's First Violin Concerto in G minor. Now it's appearing at last in an urtext edition from Henle. Bruch himself was not always overjoyed at his work's popularity: I can't listen to this concerto anymore, he once complained to his publisher Simrock, do you suppose I've only written one concerto? By now the Bruch Concerto has found a permanent place in the world's concert halls. Henle's edition provides not only a razor-sharp urtext for the solo part, but a preface that alone is worth the price of the volume: who could have guessed that the concerto went through a convoluted genesis with multi-layered revisions, and that some of the changes go back to the famous violinist Joseph Joachim?

For Violin and orchestra (piano reduction).

Max Bruch composed these eight, highly romantic pieces for his son Max Felix, a talented clarinetist. In order to enable the work to be played more widely, Bruch arranged the clarinet part for violin and the viola part for cello. Our edition contains both parts plus a transposed version for clarinet in B flat, thus allowing it to be played by different combinations of instruments. In addition, all of the eight pieces are presented here in an Urtext edition for the first time and in one volume!

Performed by Theron Welch, electric guitar Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn He's bringing classical music two centuries forward! Lay a Jimi Hendrix vibe over a classical violin concerto, and you begin to get an inkling of what Welch's new Electric Classic album is all about. He's playing the Bruch Violin Concerto using loads of distortion and a totally modern sound. It's a bold path but the music beckons. The music with TAB will enable guitarists everywhere to join a full orchestra under the direction of one of Europe's great conductors, Emil Kahn. Includes a beautifully engraved solo part as well as tablature for the entire concerto, and a digital stereo compact disc featuring complete version of the concerto with Theron Welch as soloist, then the orchestra minus you, the soloist! Also includes a -20% slow-tempo version of the accompaniments of the faster outer movements to help you get up to speed!

The Jewish holiday Yom Kippur is traditionally begun with the singing of Kol Nidrei by the cantor. Originally scored for cello, harp, and orchestra, Bruch often arranged this work for various combinations of instruments, including cello and piano.

A pearl in the romantic repertoire for viola and orchestra! Bruch's Romance has long occupied a permanent place in the viola repertoire, whether in lessons or on the concert stage. Our edition is the first to take every relevant source into account. Like the original print, it also presents the composer's own easily playable piano reduction. As in many other viola works in our catalogue, fingering and bowing marks have been added by experienced violist Jürgen Weber. In 1911 Bruch also published an arrangement for violin and piano in parallel with his original version for viola. Our new edition makes his arrangement available once again after a lapse of many years. A welcome addition to the violin repertoire!
