| Description: | Brahms was 43 years old when, after a long period of maturation,
his First Symphony was published. The conductor Felix Weingartner
commented on it â??taking hold like the claw of a lionâ?? and its urgency
marked a new phase in Brahmsâ?? musical development. The Second
Symphony is traditionally seen as the pastoral element in the cycle,
while the Third, with its melodic beauty, has the courage to end
quietly, an act of astonishing serenity. The compelling Passacaglia
finale of the Fourth Symphony represents a fitting summation to one
of the greatest symphonic cycles in the classical canon. - .. SYMPHONIESBrahms was 43 years old when, after a long period of maturation, his First Symphony was published. Felix Weingartner commented on it 'taking hold like the claw of a lion' and it's urgency marked a new phase in Brahms' musical development. The Second Symphony is traditionally seen as the pastoral element in the cycle, while the Third, with it's melodic beauty, has the courage to end quietly, an act of astonishing serenity. The compelling Passacaglia finale of the Fourth Symphony represents a fitting summation to one of the greatest symphonic cycles in the classical canon. The symphonies are only available in a box not separately. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the collaboration between Adam Fischer and the Danish Chamber Orchestra- so it's a 'Silver Wedding' recording. Fischer has called his relationship with the orchestra 'a musical marriage'. |
