More 'Mad' Max Bruch: 'Kol Nidrei'

Sadly, I don't own a copy of this recording (yet). But I had Max Bruch on the brain after listening to his first violin concerto and found this clip of "Kol Nidrei" while searching the Internets for other works by him.

It still has that melancholy air of the piece I wrote about before, but this time, thankfully, no visions of "Young Frankenstein" danced through my head.

What do you think is an underappreciated work of genius? Discuss in the comments. Meanwhile, enjoy the music:
