Bruch, Max 1838-1920
German composer

Born in Cologne, he became musical director at Coblenz in 1865, and conducted the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (1880-83), introducing many of his choral works. He is best known, however, for his Violin Concerto in G minor (1868), the Kol Nidrei (1881) variations in which he employs the idioms of Hebrew and Celtic traditional melodies, and the Konzertstück.
