Rpo:Nowak - Brahms: Complete Symphonies | Overtures

This five CD set features a brand new recording of the complete set of Brahms' majestic symphonies (Nos 1 - 4). The set also includes a selection of Brahms' most popular shorter works, from the musical merriment of the Academic Festival Overture, to the emotional and volatile Tragic Overture and the masterly Variations on a Theme by Haydn. The final disc is dedicated to the lyrical Serenade No.1 in D major, symphonic in conception but with a much lighter touch and full of whimsy.Grzegorz Nowak is the Principal Associate Conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and has led the Orchestra on tours to Switzerland, Turkey and Armenia and in numerous appearances in London and throughout the UK. He has recorded an extensive range of key classical repertoire with the RPO, including Dvo?�k's Symphonies Nos 6-9, Shostakovich's Symphony No.5 and Mendelssohn's 'Scottish' and 'Italian' Symphonies.
