On December 2, 1883, the premiere performance of Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 was given by the Vienna Philharmonic / Wiener Philharmoniker. “I’ve always found Brahms’ Third Symphony one of the most mysterious of all his works, full of strange contradictions and dualisms that reflect the various dualistic conflicts of Brahms, the man and as we know by now, dualism mean ambiguity and ambiguity means mystery." -Leonard Bernstein, 1982 Please enjoy this 1981 video of Leonard Bernstein conducting
