Amazon.com Brahms's shorter choral music with orchestra remains more or less on the periphery of the basic repertoire for a few reasons. The music is difficult to program in isolation, and it's also a lot of work for relatively small return. Not that it's bad or dull--most of it is lovely, but never quite offers enough bang for your buck. This collection logically and satisfyingly offers first-rate performances of all of these warmly Romantic pieces, with Marilyn Horne, an especially distinctive soloist, in the Alto Rhapsody. A lovely disc, then, to explore at leisure. --David Hurwitz Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBeautifully Done! 08/26/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "A very rare recording that is seldom seen or heard. Most of the works on the album are rarely recorded, making this cd an unusual and exciting find. The four works on the disc show Brahms at his best. The playing of the orchestra, the singing of the choir and the direction of Robert shaw are all flawless and beautifully done. Get this cd as soon as posible!" Exquisite, unique choral works Kevin Lash | Princeton, NJ | 07/28/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Brahms is overwhelmingly the most-performed composer in the 45-year history of the American Choral Directors Association conventions, according to a very informative ACDA monograph by Sandefur Schmidt -- confirming what one might naturally suspect. This reflects not only the especially large contribution Brahms made to choral literature (both sacred and secular, large- and small-scale), but also a universal love for that romantic era of music which Brahms exemplified better than anyone, in absolutely first-rate compositions. Okay, maybe some people don't care for it. For the rest, you can't go wrong with these, the secular pieces for chorus & orchestra -- a sub-genre with almost no lasting competition from Brahms' contemporaries or followers. Uniquely gorgeous works, in excellent performances."
