Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of classical music with Henryk Szeryng's captivating album, "Bach, Mozart & Others: Violin Concertos." Released on October 9, 2020, under the prestigious SWR Classic label, this collection is a testament to Szeryng's virtuosity and the enduring appeal of the violin concerto genre.
Spanning nearly six hours, this extensive compilation features a diverse array of compositions from some of the most celebrated composers in history. The album opens with Bach's profound Violin Concerto in A Minor, BWV 1041, and E Major, BWV 1042, showcasing Szeryng's ability to navigate the intricate baroque structures with grace and precision. Mozart's Violin Concertos No. 3 in G Major, K. 216, No. 5 in A Major, K. 219, and No. 7 in D Major, K. 271a, follow, each piece a masterclass in classical form and emotional depth.

From the lyrical beauty of Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61, to the dramatic intensity of Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 47, and the romantic fervor of Saint-Saëns' Symphonie espagnole in D Minor, Op. 21, Szeryng's performances are nothing short of transcendent.
This album is not just a collection of concertos; it is a journey through the evolution of the violin concerto, from the baroque elegance of Bach to the romantic passion of Saint-Saëns.
