In this episode of Classics Unlocked, Graham Abbott unlocks the enormous orchestral output of Johannes Brahms – works which look simultaneously  backwards and forwards, in the sense that they say something truly new for their times and in the sense that they provide a new foundation of their own for composers who followed.

This episode featured Decca recordings reissued on the Eloquence label:

BRAHMS: The Orchestral Music

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig

Kurt Masur, conductor
