Symphony No. 4 / Haydn Variations

Album by Johannes Brahms & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Bernard Haitink

Symphony No. 4 / Haydn Variations is a recorded album featuring orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, with the symphony completed in 1884–85 and the set of variations composed in 1873. The music pairs Brahms's late-Romantic symphonic language—characterised by dense counterpoint, expansive sonata structures and rich orchestral colour—with his earlier variation technique, illustrating his engagement with classical forms alongside evolving harmonic complexity in his orchestral output.
