Edward Elgar noted that all of the movements in Brahms's Third Symphony end quietly; combined with the fact that Brahms's musical 'fingerprint' (representing the motto 'free but joyful') is transformed into the minor mode, this ambiguous work suggests that the composer was looking back to his lost youth and forward, fearfully, to his old age. This recording is conducted by the Philharmonia's Honorary Conductor for Life, Christoph von Dohnányi.
