* Between 1981 and 1984 Leonard Bernstein recorded nearly all of Brahms´s orchestral works with the Wiener Philharmoniker to honor the 150th anniversary of the composer´s birth in 1983.
* For the concertos, Bernstein enlisted the services of some of the finest Brahms interpreters of the time: the violoninst Gidon Kremer, the cellist Mischa Maisky and the pianist Krystian Zimerman.

R E V I E W S

"Nobody conducts Brahms with as much originality and imagination as Leonard Bernstein. Nobody but Bernstein summons Read more such warmth, humanity and sheer inspiration from the Wiener Philharmoniker." - USA Today

"Humphrey Burton captures the relationship these players have with their instruments and their music. The camera revisits them so frequently from one performance to the next, it’s like getting to know the secondary characters in a drama." - USA Today
