‘Brahms Happening: OPRL & Madaras’

Brahms' Third Symphony, completed in 1883, showcases an exceptional range of emotions. While some label this symphony as ‘heroic’ (similar to Beethoven's Third), it also offers plenty of introspective moments. The superb third movement is the most well-known, inspiring artists like Frank Sinatra, Serge Gainsbourg, and Carlos Santana with its melancholic slow pace. In Gustav Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, the brilliant orchestration evokes the deep emotions stirred by nature in the soul of a traveler mourning the loss of his great love.
