Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider performs treasures of German Romanticism, both as violin soloist and conductor. Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 is a virtuosic display that also wears its heart on its sleeve with aching melodies and a lush orchestral accompaniment. Brahms’s Symphony No. 2 exudes lyrical beauty throughout and builds to a triumphant ending.
