Description:

The two symphonies preceded the famous "From the New World". The Seventh is a monumental work in which Brahms' influence, especially the shadow of his Third Symphony, is strongly reflected, and while it retains a Slavic color, it is also his first step into the world of universal symphonic music. The Eighth Symphony is a beautiful work in which the bright side of Bohemia is sung to the fullest. This is the perfect work for Norrington, who was highly acclaimed for his Brahms among post-Romantic composers, and who excelled at making the orchestra sound fresh and fresh. With applause after the performance. Naxos Japan
