Brahms violin and double concertos reviewed on a single disc
theguardian.com
The Guardian review discusses Brahms's Violin Concerto and Double Concerto as a generous coupling on a single disc, performed by Gil Shaham with Jian Wang, conducted by Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Shaham's Violin Concerto is praised for urgency and drama, while the Double Concerto is noted for spontaneous-sounding music-making and warm interaction between Shaham and Wang.
