Brahms - Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op.98

Aga Mikolaj (soprano)
大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales
Otto Tausk (conductor)

Strauss takes leave of his long and fruitful life, in his Four Last Songs, and commemorates those things dearest to him - his love for nature, the soprano voice of his wife of fifty-four years, and his belief in the transcendence of the soul. Plus we hear what some describe as the summation of Brahms's compositional learning, in his fourth and final symphony.
