Composer of the Week: Brahms

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Donald Macleod. With the foundation of the Hamburg Ladies Choir, Brahms broadened his experience of conducting but never won the position he had always wanted -conductorship of the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra - in spite of successful performances of his D major serenade. Was it simply pique that led him to Vienna?

Corydon Singers (female voices), John Scott (organ), conductor Matthew Best Serenade No 1 in D, Op 11 Ulster
Orchestra, conductor Nicholas Braithwaite Wiegenlied, Op 49 No 4 Anne Sofie von Otter (mezzo), Bengt Forsberg (piano)
