Johannes Brahms always preferred the original, unrevised version of his friend Schumann's Fourth Symphony, and here's a chance to experience those first thoughts in all their freshness alongside Brahms's own towering First Symphony. Donald Runnicles is joined by the men of the Edinburgh Festival Chorus in one of Brahms's most moving vocal works, the marvellous Alto Rhapsody.
