Even though it took Johannes Brahms two decades to complete his First Symphony, so heavy did he feel Beethoven’s shadow weighing down upon him, this stirring work would firmly establish the composer as a preeminent exponent of the German symphonic tradition. This year’s Brahms Cycle can thus be considered a natural successor to our recent Mozart and Beethoven cycles. In this first concert, two internationally-celebrated soloists and a distinguished Russian conductor place their talents in the service of Brahms’ music.
