Johannes Brahms occupies a heady, prominent position in the pantheon of classical composers, yet he is also one of the most misunderstood. A great way into his music--with all its contradictions--is through the lyrically abundant Violin Concerto Brahms composed during his mature, fertile outburst of symphonic creativity. Check out our latest Get Started in Classical feature on Brahms, which includes an audio tour and essay, and let Amazon.com's experts introduce you to this immensely rewarding composer.
