Symphony no. 1

Album by Johannes Brahms & Houston Symphony

Symphony No. 1 is the first symphony by German composer Johannes Brahms, completed in 1876. A large-scale Romantic orchestral work characterised by dense harmonic language, motivic development and expansive climaxes, it served as the culmination of years of composition for Brahms and established his place in the symphonic tradition following Beethoven.
