Symphony no. 2 Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Royal Promenade Orchestra & Alfred Gehardt

Symphony No. 2 and the Tragic Overture are orchestral works by the German composer Johannes Brahms, completed in 1877 and 1880 respectively. The symphony exemplifies Brahms's Romantic-era approach to classical forms with warm, lyrical orchestration and pastoral tendencies, while the overture is more sombre and dramatic, demonstrating his command of orchestral contrast and motivic development during his middle to late period.
