Johannes Brahms
On August 24, 2018, Deutsche Grammophon will release a complete recording of all four symphonies by Johannes Brahms. The Staatskapelle Berlin, conducted by Daniel Barenboim, who previously made a name for himself with a complete recording of the Brahms symphonies, performs the works. This production reflects Barenboim's personal engagement with Brahms and documents his endeavor to unite the demanding structure of the symphonies with their passionate expressiveness. The internationally renowned orchestra presents its characteristic, transparent, and warm sound in this recording. The recordings were made in the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, which was used for the first time as a studio for a large orchestra and boasts outstanding acoustics.
