Symphony No. 4
Hungarian Dances Nos. 2 and 4-9
London Philharmonic Orchestra • Marin Alsop
NAXOS is proud to present the fourth and final release in the major new cycle
of Brahms Symphonies featuring the London Philharmonic and Marin Alsop.
Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 won immediate success at the time of its 1885 première
and was praised by the critic Hanslick for its demonstration of the composer’s
mastery of ‘all the secrets of counterpoint, harmony and invention’. The symphony
is coupled with seven of Brahms’ Hungarian Dances imaginatively orchestrated by
Peter Breiner in a special Naxos commission for this recording.

The 5@H9FB5H=J97@5GG=75@ sub-genre is music that stands outside of the classical music tradition as a response
to - and departure from - its conventions. Alt-Classical composers question accepted notions of beauty and even the
concept of music itself; they encourage performers to create new sounds in previously unimaginable ways from old
instruments; they find new places to perform their music beyond the concert hall. 5@H9FB5H=J97@5GG=75@ doesn’t
represent one particular compositional school or style: rather, it sums up an attitude, a mindset shared by composers
who want to do things differently, and whose influences and influence can be heard not only in their own approach to
music and sound but also in all forms & genres of alternative minded music, from jazz, to electronica, to punk rock &
post punk, to out-rock & post-rock, as well as all out noise (Japanese style and beyond).

JOHN CAGE's father once advised him: “If someone says ‘can’t,’ that shows you what to do.”
It’s a safe bet that the 16 iconoclastic composers on this aptly named BUlcgcZ5aYf]WU compilation
would agree wholeheartedly with that defiant sentiment.
Sonic rebels in any genre of music or sound experimentation have consistently challenged accepted notions and
standards of composition, performance, and even sound itself. Some have dedicated themselves to the subversion
of existing musical forms; others have rejected those forms outright and created new ones of their own. Their anti-
authority stance has been rooted as much in the social as the personal, directed at the dissonant trajectories of the
century past as well as present. Faced with the uncertainties and complications of modern life, the onrush (some might
say onslaught) of technology, and the growing instability both between and within nations, these artists have chosen
to communicate their personal visions in a musical tone and language that is controversial, often confrontational, and
always compelling.
Experimentalists likeJOHN CAGE and GEORGE CRUMB utilized instruments in surprising and innovative
ways to create radical new sound worlds. Minimalists such as PHILIP GLASS and TERRY RILEY
took repetition to extremes in their quest to build bridges between disparate music genres. European modernists
KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI and GYÖRGY LIGETI revolutionized classical music forms with mind-
warping atonality. ARVO PART and SOFIA GUBAIDULINA embraced a meditative spiritualism in
response to repressive political environments. EDGARD VARESE and Jø RGEN PLAENTER helped
pioneer the Brave New World of electronic sound with compositions of profound and shocking beauty.
