Description
The Fourth is Brahms' final powerful symphonic statement. Here, Brahms takes flight, as he melds the soaring sounds of Romanticism to classical structure in a constantly evolving drama.
Brahms premiered the symphony with a small orchestra of forty-eight musicians, which he declined to augment. The Australian Chamber Orchestra follows his lead and performs with wind instruments from Brahms' time.
Steven Isserlis is one of the ACO’s favourite collaborators – the epitome of the intelligent and passionate cellist. There could be no better soloist for Dvořák's ardent and much-loved concerto. Isserlis first played it as a child. "I used to think it was so joyous," he says. "As I've got older, the more tragic it seems."

“Isserlis, cradling his muted cello, made it speak with an ineffable fusion of beauty, truth and love.”
The Independent
“…passionate in gesture and ravishing in touch… every flight of fancy expressed absolutes of both control and freedom…”
Guardian
“…Mr. Isserlis played with evocative delicacy.”
New York Times
