My favorite symphony of all time. It's so intense, passionate, and beautiful. I can never get enough of it!

[FiveSharps]

This was the first piece I ever conducted. Despite the length and scale, its by far his easiest symphony to conduct and one of the greatest minor key symphonies ever, especially that heart wrenching finale. Always leaves this incredible somber mood when it is over, and usually the audience even takes a moment or two before clapping.

[johannesbrahms]

I really put a lot of effort into this!!

[ngershon]

In the Brahms vs. Tchaikovsky argument, it always seems that musician really love Brahms wereas for the listeners Tchaikovsky is so approachable in comparison. By this point in my life I have come around to Brahms (the symphonies, the concertos Iv'e been listenning to for years), and these videos have bridged them a great deal. They also make you understand why musicians love him so much.

Brahm's 4th is a true masterpiece. Sibelius is my favorite symphonist of all time, but there is relatively little commentary on his work. Perhaps Inside the Score could analyze one of his 7 symphonies?

The best Brahms symphony to top it off. One of the best symphonies of all too.

(the intro page with the parts says Beethoven 4th Symphony instead...thought I might point it out)

[nevets]

Wow just finished watching all these videos, amazing music and history! Hope you consider doing Mahler’s symphonies in the future!

I love your channel. I am delighted that we can have continuing education in music appreciation without sitting in a stuffy classroom. Keep it up!

[everettworld]

I love your passion, I used to listen to 4th Brahms after coming back from work 2-3 years ago.

[stuzzop]

Bro i think you should do the Mozart's requiem

[Theisentheis]

Would love to hear you about Tschaikowsky 1st, 4th-6th

[sgwinenoob]

Wish you made these longer! Excellent work

[JJJRRRJJJ]

Nice to be reminded how much I love this symphony.

[mithramusic]

I love the channel, and I'd love to have more of those symphonic deep dives like you posted on Spotify in years past! Thanks for breaking things down for everyone

[durinvoronwe]

It would be excellent with some Bruckner next, in order to experience the greatest Codi (Codas?) ever written!

[amdir]

A really nice series! I´d like to see Sibelius´ and Bruckner´s symphonies next!

[georg]

I love especially the celli in the second subject of the first movement. It is just so sublime! I can only recommend the recording of Karajan. Just otherworldly and sublime! Hopefully our generation understands the beauty of classical music and preserves it well enough, your channel definitely helps in falling in love with it!

[iggymokriski]

Great video, If you're feeling up it I'd love to see these Quick Guides on Schubert's Symphonies.

I think it's probably the finest of his set. It's very serious, passionate and personal. I wish conductors would play the second movement slower (but that's my personal preference)
