Masterpieces Performed by NHK Symphony Orchestra

Season 5 Episode 3: Christoph Eschenbach: Brahms, Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68

Symphony No. 1 in C minor written by Johannes Brahms and widely regarded as one of the greatest symphonies of the nineteenth century is conducted here by fellow German Christoph Eschenbach. He is known for adding unique insights gleaned from his deep-dive into the score and giving exacting instructions to every instrumentalist to infuse the performance with deeper meaning. Eschenbach's association with the NHK Symphony Orchestra goes back to November 1979; together they have performed all the Brahms symphonies and that seasoned partnership is evident in this performance. Take pleasure in this gem polished to brilliance by the exhilarating artistic interplay between conductor and orchestra.
