Brahms Complete Symphonies RCO Gardiner (2025) 24-96

In September 2021, conductor John Eliot Gardiner embarked on a two-season focus on the music of Brahms with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. They gave a series of acclaimed concerts at the orchestra’s Amsterdam home, each featuring one of the symphonies juxtaposed either with one of the piano concertos or with a selection of choral works. In May 2023, they brought the project to a triumphant conclusion by performing the complete symphonies over two evenings in Amsterdam, Hamburg and Luxembourg.

Deutsche Grammophon is delighted to present an album featuring all four symphonies, captured live at the Concertgebouw between September 2021 and January 2023. Johannes Brahms – Complete Symphonies will be released digitally and as a 3-CD set on 2 May 2025. The second movement of Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Andante sostenuto, will be available to stream or download from 28 March, and the third movement of No. 2 in D major, Allegretto grazioso (quasi andantino), from 18 April.
