SCHUMANN Symphony No. 1 in B-flat Major, “Spring”
BRAHMS Violin Concerto in D Major

Brahms may have taken 25 years to compose a violin concerto for his close friend Joseph Joachim, but it was well worth the wait. From moments of ethereal poetry to the foot-stomping finale inspired by Hungarian dance music, Brahms’ Violin Concerto unleashes the instrument’s expressive potential — making it the perfect vehicle for violinist Randall Goosby’s “simmering heat, polish and power” (Musical America). 

“However old one is,” Schumann wrote, “each year the longing for spring returns.” While winter’s reign continues outside, lose yourself in vivid dreams of springtime with Schumann’s Symphony No. 1. Evoking the blossoming of the season with radiant brass fanfares and sensuous serenades, Schumann pays tribute to nature’s awe-inspiring beauty and its miraculous cycle of renewal.
