The Four Brahms Symphonies

Album by Johannes Brahms & Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra & William Steinberg

The Four Brahms Symphonies are the four numbered symphonies by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed and premiered between 1876 and 1885. These late-Romantic orchestral works blend classical symphonic structures with rich harmonic language, lyrical melodies and contrapuntal development, representing Brahms's mature contribution to the symphonic repertoire and consolidating his position in late 19th-century music history.
