Poor old Max Bruch. His first violin concerto was extremely good. His Scottish Fantasy is not bad at all. But the rest is pretty second rate. I cannot understand why I bought the new Naxos CD of his second and third violin concertos. Despite good playing by Maxim Fedotov, the two later concertos are, quite frankly, thoughly boring. The CD is filed on the shelf and may well never leave it during my lifetime.

I agree about 2th.and 3th.concertos.But Serenade op.75 IMO is a very fine work,as good as his first. And, for once in your life, you should try to listen to chamber.
Bruch's 2 SQ, the string quintet or his strings and winds octet are vey good works.
