Brahms & Bruch

JoAnn Falletta, conductor
Simone Porter, violin

BUTTERWORTH The Banks of Green Willow
BRUCH Scottish Fantasy
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1 in C minor

Two English folk songs form George Butterworth's idyllic The Banks of Green Willow, premiered just two years before the promising young composer's demise in the trenches of World War I. German Max Bruch, captivated by Scottish traditions, wove these melodies into his violin showpiece, Scottish Fantasy. Meanwhile, Brahms' expressive Symphony No. 1, finely dubbed "Beethoven's Tenth," gestated for 22 years due to his remarkable perfectionism.
