Symphony no. 2

Album by Alfred Garyevich Schnittke & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky

Symphony No. 2 is a symphony by Soviet-born composer Alfred Schnittke, completed in 1979. The work exemplifies his polystylistic approach, juxtaposing tonal and atonal material with dense orchestral textures and abrupt shifts of mood, and it occupies a central place in his mid-career output as an extended exploration of contrast and orchestral colour.
