Record Review Podcast - Brahms' Double Concerto

Roger Parker recommends a recording of Brahms Double Concerto in A minor.

The Double Concerto was Brahms' last orchestral work, composed in 1887. It was written partly as a gesture of reconciliation towards his friend the violinist, Joachim. The old friends had fallen out over Joachim's divorce. The concerto has been praised for its "vast and sweeping humour". It needs two brilliant and well matched soloists.
