Serenade no. 1 in D, op. 11 for Orchestra (1860) / Serenade no. 1 in D First Version, Reconstructed for Nonet (1858)

Album by Johannes Brahms & American Symphony Orchestra & The Chelsea Chamber Ensemble & Leon Botstein

Serenade No. 1 in D, Op. 11 is a serenade for orchestra by Johannes Brahms, completed in its orchestral form in 1860 with an earlier nonet version reconstructed from 1858. Its music marries classical forms and lyrical, chamber-like textures, the orchestral scoring expanding the transparent textures of the nonet into fuller Romantic orchestration, and the work occupies a place in Brahms's early output as a bridge between his chamber music and his later symphonic writing.

First released: 1993
