Brahms: Sinfonia In B
Label: SIGNUM RECORDS Catalog: SIGCD191 Format: CD Malmö Opera Orchestra; Joseph Swensen, conductor & violinistJohannes Brahms Sinfonia in B is Joseph Swensen's orchestration of the little-known original version of Brahms' B major piano trio. In Swensen's own words: Completed in 1854, it is the largest and arguably the most important of Brahms' published early works, yet it remains nearly unknown to most musicians and music-lovers alike ... The original Opus 8 is, for me, intriguing for many reasons. Not only is it a work of extraordinary quality and emotional depth, written by a composer just 21 years of age, but it is a quintessential example of Brahms' ultra-romantic and forward looking early style."
