Brahms - Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98

Over Brahms - Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98

• Les Dissonances is a collective of artists founded by violinist David Grimal in 2004. The conductorless ensemble consists of musicians from the most prestigious European orchestras, international soloists, and young talents. In this performance, Les Dissonances perform Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98. Brahms completed his last symphony in 1885. He conducted the successful premiere of the piece in the German city of Meiningen in October of the same year. The symphony's finale movement is a chaconne, a variation form that reflects the composer's fascination with Baroque music. In this movement, Brahms borrowed an 8-measure theme from J. S. Bach's cantata 'Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich', BWV 150. The movement opens with the theme and then presents a set of variations all set over the same repeated theme in the bass. This performance was recorded at Op?ra de Dijon, France, in 2014.
