City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra - Brahms and Sibelius
Work:: City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (S02112784535)
Production:: Brahms and Sibelius (T797376002)
Lots of composers have been given honorary degrees - but only Johannes Brahms responded by writing an overture full of student drinking songs! His Academic Festival Overture is a hilarious one-in-the-eye for those who think of Brahms as stuffy - and so is his gorgeous, deeply romantic Double Concerto. And then, conductor Vassily Sinaisky tackles two real CBSO trademarks. The Swan of Tuonela is a darkly beautiful meditation on mortality; the mighty Fifth Symphony, meanwhile, is one of the 20th century’s most dynamic and lifeaffirming masterpieces - with a finale that will stay with you forever.
