Symphony No. 3 / Alto Rhapsody

Album by Johannes Brahms & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Jard van Nes & Bernard Haitink & Tanglewood Festival Chorus

Symphony No. 3 and the Alto Rhapsody are a pairing of works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1883 and 1869 respectively. The two pieces contrast expansive, late-Romantic symphonic writing with introspective, voice-led lyricism, illustrating Brahms's command of rich orchestral textures, intricate harmonic development and his place in the 19th-century Germanic tradition.
