Symphonies

Album by Johannes Brahms & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Wolfgang Sawallisch

The Symphonies are a set of four orchestral works by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed between 1876 and 1885. They combine classical symphonic forms with late-Romantic harmony, expanded orchestration and cyclical referential techniques, representing the culmination of Brahms's orchestral writing and a key contribution to the Romantic symphonic repertoire.
