If you're referring to the Sony recording he made of it....I believe it's 10/25/1967.
It is a classical 4-movement symphony.
Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 4 in E Minor was the last of his written symphonies, which he composed between 1884 and 1885. It is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, a contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, triangle, and strings.The work was premiered to a public audience in Meiningen on October 25, 1885. Critic Eduard Hanslick was quoted, upon hearing the first movement, as saying "For this movement in this performance I had the feeling that I was being given a beating by two incredibly intelligent people."

1. The forms in movements 1, 2, and 4: the first movement is in sonata form, the second is a theme and variations, and the fourth is again in sonata form. The Symphony is clearly Romantic in style and has a Romantic theme. The form in the third movement is scherzo-trio, which is a Romantic innovation derived from the minuet-trio that is commonly associated with the Classical period. Also, there are sudden changes in tempo and mood within each movement. I would not call this a Classical symphony. It sounds too far different than one by Haydn or Mozart.
Symphony no.4 (1934) first movement. It is first announced quietly by the strings and much later bursts out into choral splendor.
Very commonly, the first movement of a symphony appears in Sonata form. If it is one of the later symphonies (Mozart, for example), it will likely have 4 movements. The second would be some type of slow movement in a binary form. The 3rd would often be a minuet and trio, followed by a closing movement in Sonata form again.

It's either has to be the 9th Symphony or the Symphony No. 4 ... unlikely to be both.
