Symphony no. 4 / Trio for violin, horn and piano, op. 40

Album by Johannes Brahms & The Cleveland Orchestra & Vladimir Ashkenazy

Symphony No. 4 / Trio for violin, horn and piano, Op. 40 is a paired release of orchestral and chamber works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1885 and 1865 respectively. The symphony, Brahms's final symphony, combines classical forms with late-Romantic harmony and notable contrapuntal writing culminating in a passacaglia-like finale, while the Horn Trio represents his mid-career chamber writing with intimate textures, lyrical motifs and an unusual instrumental combination that highlights the horn's mellow timbre against violin and piano.
