Almost uniquely, his works have never suffered the slightest period of eclipse. Profoundly emotional yet governed by an iron discipline, the music, like the man, is a fascinating, entertaining, often deeply moving blend of opposites. He had a gift for friendship and a capacity for love far beyond the ordinary, yet no man could be ruder or more hurtful. Though humble, he was consumed by a sense of destiny, and his inner life, colored by his adoration and fear of women, found expression in some of the greatest music ever written.Listening to this audio-biography is leaping inside the life and times of a great German Romantic, understanding the man who was haunted by the ghost of Beethoven for years and was forty-three before he wrote his First Symphony. Accompanied by a richly detailed booklet, this 4 CD-set is a sympathetic, absorbing account of a fascinating composer. 610 $aBrahms, johannes, 1833-1897 610 $aMusic 610 $aBiography & autobiography 610 $aBiography 702 $aSiepmann$b Jeremy$4oth 702 $aBritton$b Jasper$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910150290003321 996 $aJohannes Brahms in Selbstzeugnissen und Bilddokumenten$955215 997 $aUNINA
