About

First orchestral recording from Berlin’s Pierre Boulez Saal.

Masterpieces within the symphonic repertoire.

It took Johannes Brahms fourteen years to complete Symphony No. 1 which was premiered in 1876. The Fourth Symphony was premiered nine years later in 1885.

This is a very strongly driven, impressive and dynamic recording set under the Maestro’s baton.

Awards Issue 2018

The blend of clarity, intimacy and power the engineers have been able to achieve here fits the lustre and glow of these Staatskapelle performances like a glove…These are not ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ performances, as so many latter-day Brahms recordings are. They embody deeper memories and seek out larger horizons, as Brahms himself did when he created these astonishing works.
