Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)

1) symphony no. 1 in C minor, op. 68 When I first bought this Black Pearl recording of Louis de Froment conducting the Radio Luxembourg Symphony Orchestra, since it was one of those really inexpensive CD's I didn't think it would be such a good recording. I was wrong. The interpretation is energetic, and the melodic fourth movement (from which my sixth grade graduation march was taken) never fails to bring back memories of a hundred or more children's voices raised up in a victory song, each word clearly sung for audience understanding over the instrumental accompaniment.





I'll add more as I find enough information to give a decent listing. I listen to more than I have in my cd collection, and by no means own cd's of all my favorite pieces.
