Simon Rattle, Berliner Philharmoniker – Brahms: Hungarian Dance No. 1 in G Minor, WoO 1

The Hungarian Dances are among Johannes Brahms’s most popular works. The original version was written for piano four hands, and later the dances have been rearranged and orchestrated various times. The dance No. 1 in G minor was orchestrated by Brahms himself. This performance was recorded at the New Year’s Eve Gala on 31rd Dec 2011 in Berlin. The Gala stands out with a festive and energetic program: the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Simon Rattle performs a variety of dances by Brahms, Dvořák, Strauss and Stravinsky live at the Philharmonie, Berlin.
