Werther's Woes...and First Maturity

BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Johannes Brahms, Werther's Woes...and First Maturity

Donald Macleod on Brahms's return to publishing new work after Schumann's suicide attempt.

Donald Macleod explores Brahms's renewed creativity after his six-year hiatus following the suicide attempt of his mentor Robert Schumann. Including a rare work for female choir.

After the shattering suicide attempt of his mentor Robert Schumann, Brahms didn't publish a new work for nearly six years - a wretched period in the career of music's new hottest property. Yet the flirty attentions of the composer's much-beloved Hamburg Ladies' Choir finally rejuvenated his creative juices in 1859, at the tender age of 26. In this second programme episode, Donald Macleod explores Brahms's renewed creative maturity, beginning with a rare work for 'his ladies' accompanied by harp and horns.
