Gil Shaham.
Beethoven, Brahms: Violin Concertos
Friendship is at the heart of the new recording featuring violinist Gil Shaham, with Eric Jacobson and the Knights. In fact, Shaham has been performing and recording with the Knights for so long that Jacobsen says he is part of the family.
“I heard them play the
Eroica Symphony in the second half of a program,” Shaham said while remembering when he was on tour with the Knights. “I just loved the performance. I was blown away. It was exactly how I like hearing Beethoven. I thought they really captured the spirit of Beethoven. I spoke to Eric afterwards and I said, ‘Hey, let s do the Violin Concerto.’ And as that went along, we looked at each other and said, ‘Well, let s do the Brahms, too!’”
