Opus 88 offers an intimate conversation between two alto instruments. This tunefully rich and opulently romantic composition quotes from Bruch’s earlier melodies and folk structures drawn from his early suites. The composer was seventy-three when it was first performed in 1911 to an audience more sympathetic with the modernist experimentation; the premiere of Le Sacre du Printemps exploded on the Parisian concert scene only two months after the Double Concerto’s premiere.
The Allgemeine Musikzeitung (No. 50, 1913) described the work as 'harmless, weak, unexciting, first and most of all too restrained, its effect is unoriginal and it shows no masterstrokes. For a self-described 'traditionalist' composer and composition professor who championed the chamber music of Mendelssohn and the elegance of late German Romanticism, this critic had missed the point of the work.
