Symphony no. 1

Album by Johannes Brahms & London Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

Symphony No. 1 is the first symphony by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1876. It is scored for large orchestra and features dense, richly textured orchestration, thematic motivic development and a balance of classical structural discipline with Romantic intensity, reflecting Brahms's lengthy process of preparing a major symphonic statement and placing the work within the 19th-century symphonic tradition.
First released: December 1960
