For more than fifteen years, Brahms battled his demons to create his Symphony No. 1. When the composer had finally completed the work, he issued a warning to his listeners. They would probably find his symphony ‘long and not particularly pleasant’. What a surprise! His long-anticipated First turned out to be a grandiose synthesis of Beethoven’s legacy and Brahms’ own ingenuity. Full of inspired rhythms, molten lyricism and deep drama.
