Brahms: The Symphonies, Solti (4-CD)

“This Brahms cycle remains the finest single thing [Solti] ever recorded . . . This remains a worthy testament to his art, and to Brahms.” — ClassicsToday.com

Winner of two Grammy® Awards in 1979, including Classical Album of the Year, Sir Georg Solti’s Brahms symphonies are masterful renditions of the well-loved and often-performed works. Hear the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at its finest under Solti’s baton, weaving its way through the densely romantic scores of the German composer, recorded at the historic Medinah Temple in downtown Chicago.
