Violinist Joseph Joachim and composer Johannes Brahms
Johannes Brahms and Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim instantly became great friends when they met in their early twenties in 1853. Brahms was not yet known but the violinist was already a celebrity (and a more accomplished composer than Brahms. at the time) which encouraged and endorsed the budding young composer and in the 1860s they even toured with Brahms as Joachim’s pianist. After 25 years of friendship, Brahms was now famous and wrote his only violin concerto for Joachim who assisted the pianist-composer with technical advice on violin writing. The premiere took place on January 1, 1879 with Joachim as soloist and Brahms (inadvertently poorly dressed, causing murmurs in the audience) conducted. Since around 1900, the Concerto has been considered one of the greatest ever written and one of the most performed. Almost 100 years after the premiere, Itzhak Perlman has recorded what is called one of the greatest Brahms recordings of all time and a benchmark interpretation of the Concerto. At the 1979 Awards, the recording won the Grammy for Classic Album of the Year. Perlman’s epic 43-minute performance of Brahms’ Violin Concerto is today’s noon masterpiece at 2:00 p.m. (And be sure to tune in at about 19 minutes to hear Perlman play the cadenza (solo) that Joachim contributed to the composition.)
