Symphonies 1-4
Album by Johannes Brahms & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & David Zinman
Symphonies 1–4 is a set of four symphonies by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed and published between 1876 and 1885. Stylistically rooted in the Romantic tradition, the works combine classical symphonic forms with rich orchestration, complex thematic development and contrapuntal textures, and they represent Brahms's sustained engagement with the symphonic legacy of the 19th century.
