Symphony no. 1 / Variations on a Theme by Haydn

Album by Johannes Brahms & Brussels Philharmonic & Ali Rahbari

Symphony No. 1 and the Variations on a Theme by Haydn are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1876 and 1873 respectively. The symphony, Brahms's first in the genre, employs late-Romantic orchestration, extensive thematic development and a large-scale finale that reflects his long engagement with classical models, while the variations present a more compact, contrapuntal set that explores transformational techniques rooted in earlier classical forms.
