Title: Bernard Haitink, London Symphony Orchestra – Brahms: Serenade No.2, Symphony No.3 (2004)
Genre: Classical
Format: MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

The 1st & final movements of Brahms’s 3rd Symphony contain some of the most dramatic music he was to compose, yet both end serenely & enclose 2 beautiful inner movements. The equally exquisite Serenade No 2, unusually scored for wind instruments, violas, cellos & double basses, was 1 of his own personal favourites & both receive superb performances under Bernard Haitink in the 3rd part of his internationally acclaimed LSO Live Brahms cycle.
