Max Bruch is perhaps the most famous one-work composer, but, as this new disc from cpo demonstrates, his oeuvre continues to hold many a rewarding discovery in store. And when a gifted artist like Antje Weithaas unearths these buried gems, the results are remarkable. On Vol. 2 this superb violinist turns to Bruch’s first violin concerto, the great Serenade, and the gripping In Memoriam.
