BRAHMS, J.: Symphony No. 4 / Academic Festival Overture (Győr Philharmonic, Berkes)

Brahms’s Symphony No. 4, which won immediate success at the time of its 1885 premiere and was praised by the critic Eduard Hanslick for its demonstration of the composer’s mastery of ‘all the secrets of counterpoint, harmony and invention’. Coupled here with the perennially popular Academic Festival Overture, this recording is released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra.
