This time, the Symphonic Hit team and narrator Goran Gora will both delight and educate academic music enthusiasts with a personal and professional portrait of German composer Johannes Brahms. Unlike other composers, Brahms' signature in the multifaceted Romantic music scene of the 19th century is a masterful and even stubborn reflection of the historical musical heritage, taking the most significant and essential features from each era. Combined with the composer's individual style, Brahms created both spirited and deeply thought-provoking music that remains relevant till today.
