Brahms: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4 - Weber: Overture from Der Freischütz

A surprise awaits you on this album by Carlo Maria Giulini! A recording never published before of the Freischütz overture, a cornerstone of the Romantic repertoire, found in our archives and mastered in HD for the occasion. It is paired here with two Brahms symphonies, including the Fourth, which he declared to be his favourite of all composers. A biographer listed more than eighty performances of this work on stage, and it was the very first symphony he conducted live.
