From a Book-of-the-Month Club "Music Appreciation Record" issued in 1957. These appreciation discs -- 10 inches in diameter -- accompanied the regular 12 inch discs that were mailed to the homes of Club members. All images, except for that at the close of the video, are from the disc label and jacket. Bernstein discusses Brahms' ability, in Hugo Wolf's words, to "create something out of nothing," and in the process explores this great composer's profoundly ingenious ability to develop within the symphonic framework.
