Scene from: The Brahms Symphonies

Composer: Johannes Brahms
Conductor: Kurt Masur

Masur discusses Brahms' four symphonies, which he sees as a single great inspiration, with each symphony like a separate movement, together amounting to the symphony of Brahms' life. It is fascinating to hear them performed as a cycle with a consistent approach and by a conductor and an orchestra with such a distinguished and distinctive tradition. If you believe, as Kurt Masur does, that the four symphonies are related, that one leads to the other and together they form a single grand symphonic sweep, then it can make you hear them in a totally different way.
