Complete Symphonies

Album by Johannes Brahms & Nihon Century Koukyougakudan & Norichika Iimori

Complete Symphonies is a collection of the four symphonies by Johannes Brahms, composed between 1876 and 1885. These symphonies epitomise late-Romantic orchestral writing, combining classical structural principles with expanded harmonic language, dense yet disciplined orchestration and intricate thematic development that consolidated Brahms's position in the symphonic tradition.
