Spanish violin virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate (1844–1908),the late-Romantic era’s Paganini, gave his one and only New York Philharmonic performance in February 1872, in the U.S. Premiere of a concerto that the New York Herald predicted would “rank beside Mendelssohn’s celebrated work for the same instrument.” The piece was Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, now one of the cornerstones of the violin repertoire.
