Released on January 1, 2000, under the prestigious Warner Classics label, this album is a testament to Foster's mastery and the timeless beauty of the violin concerto genre.
The album features two iconic works: Carl Nielsen's Violin Concerto, Op. 33, and Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 26.
