The fourth and final release in the major new Naxos cycle of Brahms Symphonies featuring the London Philharmonic and Marin Alsop presents the Symphony No. 4, which won immediate success at the time of its 1885 première and was praised by the critic Hanslick for its demonstration of the composer's mastery of 'all the secrets of counterpoint, harmony and invention'. It is coupled with seven of Brahms's Hungarian Dances imaginatively orchestrated by Peter Breiner in a special Naxos commission for this recording.

Tracks:

Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98
21 Hungarian Dances, WoO 1 (excerpts) (arr. P. Breiner for orchestra)
