The Swedish Radio Choir Sings Brahms

Justin Doyle conducts the Swedish Radio Choir in Johannes Brahms’s love songs Liebeslieder-Walzer for mixed choir and piano four hands. It is not known whether Brahms’s wrote the piece in frustration with his unrequited love for composer colleague Clara Schumann or not, but it can be seen as journey through the emotional turmoil of love. In this concert Brahms’s work is combined with traditional songs and pieces from Antonín Dvořák’s Slavonic Dance.
