Symphony no. 1, op. 68 / Violin Concerto, op. 77

Album by Johannes Brahms & Le Cercle de l'Harmonie & Jérémie Rhorer & Stéphanie-Marie Degand

Symphony No. 1, Op. 68 and the Violin Concerto, Op. 77 are orchestral works by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed in 1876 and 1878 respectively. The symphony employs dense Romantic harmonies and a monumental formal design that concluded a long period of compositional development for Brahms, while the violin concerto combines demanding virtuosic writing with symphonic scope and lyrical themes, exemplifying his mature balance between soloist and orchestra.
