‘Symphony no. 1’ by Johannes Brahms has one of the most magnificent endings in all music. The piece itself is a journey of conviction, and when you arrive at the finale you hear the composer’s sense of accomplishment. In this episode I share insights into the piece, I discuss the role of the timpani within an orchestra, and we continue to discover what it is that makes performances thrilling.
This episode features the fourth movement from ‘Symphony no. 1’ by the composer Johannes Brahms. I recommend the recording by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Chailly (conductor).
