For the Love of Brahms

Description

2016 release. As a follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed and chart-topping all-Bach
recording, Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell continues as Music
Director and Conductor of the world-renowned ensemble, the Academy of St
Martin in the Fields. Joshua Bell is the first American and first person to
hold the title of Music Director since Sir Neville Marriner formed the
orchestra in 1958. On their new collaboration, Bell conducts ASMF mostly from
the concertmaster’s chair in a Brahms/Schumann program. On Brahms Double
Concerto and Schumann s Violin Concerto in D Minor, 2nd Movement, Bell and the
Academy orchestra are joined by cellist Steven Isserlis. Rounding out the
repertoire is Brahms Piano Trio in B Major, Op. 8, with Bell and Isserlis
joined by pianist Jeremy Denk. The trio chose to record the lesser known first
version of the Piano Trio that Brahms wrote in 1854 when he was in his 20s.
Although the later version is almost always played today, Bell finds this
earlier version more moving.
