The Berliner Philharmoniker, who particularly excel in German romanticism, left splendid Brahms recordings throughout their glorious history. This collection highlights the most iconic of those, under the baton of the greatest conductors: from the praised symphonies by Simon Rattle, Joseph Keilberth and Wilhelm Furtwängler, to the Haydn Variations and the German Requiem by Rudolf Kempe, featuring Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Elisabeth Grümmer. Concertante music is represented by such great figures as Edwin Fischer and Frank Peter Zimmermann.
