ROMANTIC VOICES
'You have no idea what it's like to hear the footsteps of a giant like that behind you' - Brahms
The footsteps of Beethoven resonated through Brahms' psyche, making him question if he could ever do anything on a par with the earlier master's symphonies. From its earth-shaking opening to the transfigured vision of the finale, Brahms' mighty 1st Symphony is a voyage of discovery from darkness to light.
With this, the Rosamunde overture, full of charm and lovely tunes, and Carl Reinecke's virtuosic flute concerto played by one of Germany's leading flautists.
