Symphonic Pinnacles

For Johannes Brahms, the symphonic genre represented a long and arduous journey—yet what once posed such a challenge to the composer has become a treasured gift to the musical world. Over the next two years, his four symphonies, presented alongside other works from his rich oeuvre, will form the heart of a dedicated Brahms cycle at the Rheingau Music Festival. The Fourth Symphony stands as both the culmination and crowning achievement of his symphonic writing; only one orchestral work would follow: the Double Concerto – a "work of reconciliation" written for his estranged friend Joseph Joachim. The Bamberger Symphoniker under the baton of Jakub Hrůša, joined by Festival Focus Artist Renaud Capuçon on violin and Julia Hagen on cello, are ideally suited to bring these masterpieces to life.
