Nathan Milstein: Brahms Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77
In this 1975 performance, seventy-one year old Nathan Milstein (1904-1992) performs the Brahms violin concerto in D major, Op. 77. Eugen Jochum (1902-1987) leads the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. I created this video from the LP collection entitled "Brahms: The Complete Concertos," issued in 1983 under license from DG by the Book of the Month Club, serial number 90-3733. Other works in this collection are the Brahms first and second piano concerti (Emil Gilels) and the Double Concerto for Violin and Cello (Wolfgang Schneiderhan and Janos Starker). So that there is no question in the mind of the listener, I rely principally on images of the LP and LP jacket in order to document the authenticity of historically important recordings such as these.
Movement 1: Allegro non troppo
Movement 2: Adagio (20:25)
Movement 3: Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace (29:10)
