Max Bruch composed his Violin Concerto Number 1 in G minor, Opus 26, in 1866, when he was 28 years old. One of three violin concertos written by the composer, it is one of the most popular in the repertoire.

A highly romantic concerto in the usual classical three movements, many famous violinists, from Jascha Heifetz to Sarah Zhang, have recorded it.

The first movement is a prelude, Allegro Moderato, the second a very moving Adagio, and the finale, marked Allegro Energico, the most difficult to play.
