Double Concerto for Violin and Cello in A minor, Op 102

Available for over a year

Written to reconcile Brahms and his close friend Joseph Joachim, the solo instruments are treated like two voices in dialogue. The assertive (female) violin and dreamy (male) cello combine to create a work full of passionate and dramatic sweeping melodies.
