Music reviews of Brahms: Symphony No. 1Music Review: The Beauty Of Brahms
This recording of the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Bernard Haitink is exceptionally good. You can never go wrong with the London Symphony Orchestra and certainly not with this program- Brahms' first symphony and his Tragic Overture. This is a great recording, even if it's live and worth getting. Bernard Haitink is a great conductor, beautifully capturing the essence of Brahm's music. In his first symphony, Brahms was hailed as the successor to Beethoven, so much that his first symphony was dubbed Beethoven's 10th. The classical restraint and balance of his harmony, with the new Romantic dramatics, made him the 19th Century new Beethoven. Like Beethoven, Brahms was a master of theme and variations. His symphonies harked back to the classical symphony. It's extremely beautiful to hear, his first, especially the final movement. After a long cadenza for clarinet, the orchestra plays a melody that people instantly recalled the Ode To Joy of Beethoven's 9th. "Any idiot can see that" was Brahms comment. The Tragic Overture is like its title tragic and dramatic as was the Romantic style. The one movement, sonata form overture is orchestral magic. This is a great cd if you're a fan of the music of Johannes Brahms. Look also for his 4th Symphony and Tragic Overture as well as his famous Lullaby. He wrote many great works.
