Description:

Brahms: Symphonies by Leo Boston Symphony Orchestra, released 15 June 2018. This version of Brahms: Symphonies comes as a 3xCD. - WDR S.O./JUKKA-PEKKA SARASTE

The four symphonies of Johannes Brahms give emphasis to his significance as a composer more than any other works he wrote. He struggled for a long time before producing his first symphonic work - with Beethoven's larger-than-life example before his eyes, the "giant", whom he could hear marching behind him, as he once quipped. It took Brahms twenty years to complete his first symphony in 1876 - at the age of 43 - and another eight for the three further symphonies. All four of these historic works are presented on this release from Jukka-Pekka Saraste and the WDR Sinfonieorchester. In the more than sixty years of it's existence, the WDR Symphony Orchestra of Cologna has established itself as one of the most important European radio orchestras. Stylistic versatility is the special trademark of the WDR Symphony Orchestra. Jukka-Pekka Saraste became principal conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra at the beginning of the 2010/2011 season. The orchestra and conductor can already look back at many years of working successfully together.
