Max Bruch was a German composer, conductor, and music teacher, best known for his concertos and choral works. He gained prominence in the late 19th century, particularly with his famous Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, which remains a staple in the violin repertoire today. Bruch's music is characterized by its lyrical melodies and rich harmonies, drawing influence from both German romanticism and folk music. His works often reflect a deep emotional resonance and a strong sense of melody, making them popular among performers and audiences alike.

In addition to his concertos, Bruch composed a variety of orchestral and chamber works, as well as operas and choral pieces. His choral composition "Kol Nidrei" is particularly celebrated, showcasing his ability to blend classical forms with expressive, lyrical lines. Despite facing some criticism during his lifetime for not conforming to the prevailing trends of the time, Bruch's music has endured, and his contributions to the classical repertoire are still appreciated by musicians and listeners around the world.
