Symphony no. 1 / Hungarian Dances 1-8

Album by Johannes Brahms & Lëtzebuerger philharmoneschen Orchester & Louis de Froment

Symphony No. 1 and Hungarian Dances Nos. 1–8 are works by Johannes Brahms, composed between 1869 and 1876. The symphony is a large-scale Romantic orchestral composition that adapts classical symphonic forms into expansive thematic development and a climactic finale, while the Hungarian Dances are shorter, folk-influenced piano pieces characterised by rhythmic vivacity and modal melodies that were later arranged for various ensemble settings.
