The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Claudio Abbado plays with verve and enthusiasm, and every single dance is well-nigh perfectly judged with respect to overall shape, individual detail, and spirit and energy. The contrast between delicacy and muscularity is admirably realized and so is the full range of colors (in particular, I find the wind playing impressive).

As Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra progress through the symphonies of Johannes Brahms, one album at a time, the makings of a box set are becoming apparent. Not only has Fischer covered the First, Second, and now the Fourth, but the filler pieces have included the Variations on a Theme of Haydn, the Tragic Overture, the Academic Festival Overture, and assorted Hungarian Dances, giving this series the required selections for a deluxe reissue.

Hungarian Dances: Hungarian Dances, set of 21 dances composed by Johannes Brahms. Originally intended for two pianists, the dances were published in that form in two sets in 1869 and in 1880. Some were orchestrated by Brahms himself, and others were orchestrated by his colleagues, including Antonín Dvořák. One such trend was for dance-style pieces written for piano four-hands (a single piano played by two pianists). The other was for compositions inspired by Europe’s diverse blend of minority cultures, particularly the Roma (Gypsy) culture, which was, if not specifically Hungarian, at least strongly identified with that nation. Johannes Brahms, 1853. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Both Hungarian-style music and piano four-hands music made early entrances into Brahms’s life.
