Brahms was 43 years old when, after a long period of maturation, his First Symphony was published, marking a new phase in his musical development. The Second Symphony is traditionally seen as the pastoral element in the cycle, while the Third, with its melodic beauty, ends with astonishing serenity. The compelling finale of the Fourth Symphony represents a fitting summation to one of the greatest symphonic cycles in the classical canon. This recording marks the 25th anniversary of the collaboration between conductor Adam Fischer and the Danish Chamber Orchestra.
