[edit] Death date

Are we sure about this new death date? I did a quick google search and came up with both values. -- Rmrfstar 22:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His violin concerto

Did Bruch write another violin concerto? Both the recordings I have of this one (his Violin Concerto (Bruch)) say only "Violin Concerto", etc. etc. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  23:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Bruch did wrote 3 violin concertos, but except his first concerto, the others are very rarely be performed nowadays. I can say that these pieces are being forgotten by us.(Addaick 12:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC))
However, none other than Jascha Heifetz made the world premiere recording of the 2nd, in 1954, with the RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra under Izler Solomon. This recording is available, and deserves a hearing. -- JackofOz 02:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I read somewhere that Bruch was irritated at people forgetting he'd written two other violin concertos and how they never were performed, although he thought them just as good as the first. Mtsmallwood (talk) 06:38, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
