The Boston Symphony did the Brahms First, always a favorite with me,maybe due to the wonderful horn parts! Anyway, the very exposed solo horn was just outstanding.

This trip also inspired Brahms to include a yodeling chorus in the introduction to the last movement, but he abandoned this idea when he learned that Wagner had already written a yodeling chorus in the third act of Die Walkuere.
