About this release
Johannes Brahms really admired the symphonies by Beethoven. So much so that he did not finish his first symphony until after his 40th birthday. Three more symphonies followed. The last two of these are given glowing performances here by the Nederlands Filharmonisch Orkest under Jaap van Zweden.
