Brahms: Portrait

The characteristic effect of true genius on the world is that after it blooms, things are never quite the same again. The Portrait series from harmonia mundi is devoted exclusively to the great geniuses of music. Each specially priced set contains eight discs housed in a deluxe box coupled with an extensive illustrated booklet. Johannes Brahms embodies the quintessence of late Romanticism.
