Claudio Abbado Symphonien Edition – Brahms

“Great music is inexhaustible. In music as in life, there are no limits.” (Claudio Abbado)

With Claudio Abbado, the music world has lost a great artist and convinced humanist. The Symphony Edition now presents the legacy of the ingenious sound magician in individual editions, each dedicated to the symphonic work of a composer

The Brahms-Edition contains on 5 CDs all symphonies of Johannes Brahms plus serenades and overtures and single choral works.

Abbado’s recordings are considered the best modern recordings of the symphonic ouevre of Brahms

At Brahms Abbado showed what distinguished him and made him unique: How one could combine tragic greatness with human warmth, yes, with tenderness. In addition to the Mahler Chamber Orchestra (with Serenade No. 1), it is above all the Berliner Philharmoniker who, under Abbado’s baton, have succeeded in producing an unmistakable Brahms performance of greatness and filigree.
