Symphonie Nr. 1 / Tragische Ouvertüre

Album by Johannes Brahms & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

This album is a recording of orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1876 and 1880. The music juxtaposes expansive symphonic architecture with overture-scale drama, featuring dense contrapuntal writing, broad thematic development and robust orchestral textures that illustrate Brahms's consolidation of a mature Romantic symphonic style late in his career.
First released: 1999
