on BBC Radio 3

Leo Black looks back at BBC recordings of the music of Johannes Brahms, who died 100 years ago yesterday. There are also songs by Schumann, who encouraged Brahms more than anyone, and by the composers of the Second Viennese School - Schoenberg, Berg and Webern - who acknowledged their deep debt to Brahms. The singers are Thomas Hemsley, Doris Soffel, Robert Titze, Norma Procter, Pamela Bowden, Margaret Price, Jennifer Eddy, Janet Baker and Anne Collins. Variations on an Original Theme, Op 21 No 1
Andre Tchaikovsky (piano) Two Songs. Op 91
Anne Collins (mezzo), Peter Schidiof (viola), Paul Hamburger (piano) Other accompanists include Roger Vignoies , Ernest Lush, Steuart Bedford and James Lockhart. Plus a chance to hear Brahms speak and play the piano.
Producer Tim Thorne
