Win John Eliot Gardiner's new Brahms release
On 1 September, SDG releases the first disc in a new series that
sees John Eliot Gardiner and his Orchestre Révolutionnaire et
Romantique explore the music of Johannes Brahms.
British conductor Gardiner has set Brahms' symphonies in the context of his own choral music and that of old masters Schütz and Bach, who he particularly cherishes, and more recent heroes Mendelssohn, Schubert and Robert Schumann.
The recordings from this series are drawn from Gardiner's two-year, two-part Brahms and his Antecedents project, which the ensemble will be touring extensively in Europe in the autumn.
Inside the same elegant packaging used for the recent Bach Cantatas CDs, the liner notes feature an in-depth conversation between John Eliot Gardiner and composer Hugh Wood.
Muso has teamed up with SDG to offer one lucky reader the chance to win this new CD. To be in it to win it, simply answer the following question:
In which year was Brahms' First Symphony premiered?
a) 1871
b) 1876
c) 1869
d) 1877
