Johannes Brahms was a quiet, private person, but he lived a full life, bearing a responsibility he didn’t want, a woman he couldn’t be with, and a legacy he couldn’t live up to. Scott Yoo journeys across Germany with pianist Elisabeth Brauss and cellists Johannes Moser and Max Hornung to find a window into Brahms’ inner life. Through his personal photo collection and a visit to his summer hideaway, preserved as Brahms left it years ago, Scott Yoo discovers how Brahms reached a turning point in his life to become one of the greatest composers ever known.
Now Hear This – “Brahms: Free But Alone” is part of season 7 of Now Hear This.
