If Brahms’ Violin Concerto needs no presenting as one of the great concertos of the Romantic repertoire, Joseph Joachim’s Violin Concerto is lesser known to the general public, and it is noteworthy to say that each concerto was dedicated from one to the other composer - the Austro-Hungarian violinist, composer, conductor (1831-1907) dedicated, in 1860, his Violin Concerto to his friend Johannes Brahms who later dedicated his own great violin concerto to Joachim, in 1878. Joachim’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor "in the Hungarian Manner" is a long and demanding work for the soloist, which may explain that it isn’t performed regularly.
