Symphony no. 4 / Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Columbia Symphony Orchestra & Bruno Walter

Symphony No. 4 and the Tragic Overture are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1885 and 1880 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Brahms's late-Romantic orchestral style, combining robust symphonic architecture, intricate counterpoint and dramatic dynamic contrasts, with the symphony representing the culmination of his symphonic achievement and the overture offering a concentrated, sombre orchestral drama.
