“Free but Happy” – Brahms’ 3rd Symphony

Season 5 Episode 504 | 56m 46s | CC

Johannes Brahms expressed his own enigmatic motto, “free but happy,” in musical symbols that weave throughout this beautiful, deeply personal symphony – one of the greatest works of German romanticism. The program opens with Hector Berlioz’ witty Shakespearean overture to Beatrice and Benedict.
