Few of Mozart’s works are more familiar than the exquisitely turned-out string serenade, Eine kleine Nachtmusik, while the sturdy Symphony No. 39 is a worthy member of the final trilogy that also included No. 40 and the ‘Jupiter’. Brahms’s Violin Concerto is one of the richest in the repertory, not in terms of showy virtuosity, but in its sheer musical substance, almost as if it were a symphony in which a violin simply has the most prominent part.
