Simon Rattle Conducts Brahms

Here comes the antepenultimate volume of our Simon Rattle Conducts series, devoted to Johannes Brahms. It of course includes the complete cycle of symphonies with the Berliner Philharmoniker, which is one of the most regarded modern performances. Concertante music is featured as well, with noted collaborations with Kyung Wha Chung and Leif Ove Andsnes. It also brings forward a radiant rendition of the German Requiem with Thomas Quatshoff and a rarity: an orchestration by Schoenberg of Brahms’ first piano quintet!
