Symphony No. 1 / Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Herbert Blomstedt

This release is a pair of orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1876 and 1880. They employ late-Romantic orchestration, dense harmonic language and expansive sonata-based structures, and the larger work represented Brahms's long-awaited entry into the symphonic tradition after years primarily devoted to chamber and vocal music.
