Product Description

Max Bruchs Ave Maria is a poignant concert piece for violoncello and orchestra, inspired by the sixth movementa prayer scenefrom his cantata Das Feuerkreuz (The Fiery Cross), Opus 52. The cantata, drawing from Sir Walter Scotts Lady of the Lake, underwent a lengthy creative process before reaching completion in 1888-89.

Bruchs deep affection for the Prayer Scene led him to publish it separately for voice and orchestra. However, at the urging of his friend, cellist Robert Hausmann, he reimagined it in 1892 for violoncello and orchestra, transposing it from D minor to A minor. This transformation allowed it to stand alongside his successful work Kol Nidrei, Opus 55.
