Brahms - Alto Rhapsody, Op. 53
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Alto Rhapsody, Op. 53 Composed in 1869; premiered in 1870 in Jena, Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach Performed by Dunja Vejzovic (b. 1843), alto, with the Houston Symphony Male Chorus and the Houston Symphony, conducted by Christoph Eschenbach (b. 1940) Recorded March 1992 at the Brown Theater, Wortham Center, Houston Johannes Brahms composed his Alto Rhapsody, Op. 53, in 1869 as a wedding gift for Julie Schumann (1845-1872), the daughter of his close friends Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and Clara Schumann (1819-1896). The work is a setting of three stanzas from the poem "Harzreise im Winter" (Harz Journey in Winter) by Goethe (1749-1832), featuring a soloist, male chorus, and orchestra. Brahms intended the piece to express the spiritual isolation of a misanthrope who has lost his way, ultimately finding solace and connection through the intervention of the chorus. Its premiere took place on March 3, 1870, in Jena, and it remains one of the composer's most intimate and poignant choral-orchestral works.
