On the occasion of Johannes Brahms' 150th birthday in 1983, Leonard Bernstein recorded the composer's orchestral works for disc and video with the Vienna Philharmonic between 1981 and 1984. Today this cycle is considered a milestone in the interpretation of Brahms' music. The concerts took place in the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein, the venue for the premiere of two Brahms symphonies, where the composer himself had also conducted. This recording with the Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman was made in October 1984.
