Johannes Brahms II: Orchestral and Vocal Works, Serenades, Dances

Our second Johannes Brahms playlist is dedicated to his compositions outside of the classical genres of the symphony and solo concerto. In addition to the famous Hungarian Dances and the Haydn Variations, it also includes works that are rarely heard in the concert hall. This selection of Philharmoniker performances with conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Christian Thielemann and Daniel Barenboim features the dramatic cantata Rinaldo, two concert overtures, and compositions for choir and orchestra.
