In the towering Symphony No. 1, Brahms trod the heroic path that Beethoven had blazed in his Fifth and Ninth Symphonies. That's why his admirers crowned it "Beethoven's Tenth."

The distinguished soloist is Argentine pianist, Ingrid Fliter, whom London's Sunday Times has praised for her "exhilarating and powerful performances."
