Music reviews of Brahms: Double Concerto Op.102 / Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto Op.64

Music Review: Wonderful Brahms and Mendelssohn
Rating: 5 Stars

As a young boy, I thoroughly enjoyed this CD. I'm now in my teens, and Classical music has had its effect on me, thanks in many ways to my musical education with a world-renowned teacher. Now coming back to this CD, I am able to appreciate it in a much deeper way that I find nearly impossible to describe. But I'll try my best.

The Brahms Double Concerto is certainly one of the above composer's most undervalued works. This is his last orchestral composition and it contains the autumnal, resigned music that so typical of late Brahms. While it may not have the powerful effect of the 4th Symphony, or the intimacy of his later chamber and piano music, this piece has a world all of its own. Here Pearlman and Ma blend beautifully and Barenboim gives them powerful support while still taking the opportunity to engage in chamber-like conversation with the soloists. The Chicago Symphony is well suited for this work, and Barenboim has succeeded in fulfilling this potential. Especially good here is the charming Hungarian finale, where the orchestra takes the theme and gives an exhilarating rendition while still keeping strong control.

The following Mendelssohn concerto is by far the more popular of the two concertos. While I don't feel this performance is quite as satisfying as the Brahms, it still by all means deserves listening. Barenboim gives us steady conducting that brings out all the Romantic sentiment excellently. Likewise, Pearlman's playing has a real maturity that enables him to excel.

For anyone interested in a CD that takes advantage of a fantastic conductor, orchestra, and soloists, this CD will exceed your highest expectations. Highly recommended.
