Berliner Philharmoniker - Johannes Brahms - Music CD

For his performance of Johannes Brahms's symphonies, Kirill Petrenko returns to their roots - and to his own: in Meiningen. Hans von Blow was the first to perform Brahms's works there, before Fritz Steinbach succeeded him as court conductor in 1886. Thanks to Brahms's regular visits to Meiningen, Steinbach became extremely familiar with his music during his 17 years at the court - and meticulously recorded the composer's wishes as performance notes in the scores.
