Munich Radio Orchestra & Roberto Abbado - Brahms: Hungarian Dances Nos. 11-21 (version for orchestra) (2025) [Hi-Res]

Before the publication of his Hungarian Dances in their original version for piano four hands, Johannes Brahms was hardly known to the educated middle classes, but the works ensured that the composer became a household name. In their subsequent orchestral versions, the Dances entered the repertoire of prestigious concert orchestras and, after music had become technically reproducible, went on to become even more massively popular. On this CD, BR-KLASSIK presents Brahms'the Hungarian Dances Nos. 11–21 in their orchestral versions, in a studio production with the Munich Radio Orchestra under its former chief conductor Roberto Abbado.
