Symphony no. 4 in E minor, op. 98 / Academic Festival Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Slovenská filharmónia & Michael Halász

An orchestral overture and a symphony by Johannes Brahms were completed in 1880 and 1885 respectively. They exemplify Brahms's late Romantic orchestral language, combining classical forms, dense counterpoint and rich orchestration, with the symphony serving as his final completed contribution to the symphonic repertoire and the overture reflecting his engagement with academic ceremonial tradition.
First released: 1989
