Symphony no. 2 in B minor

Album by Alexander Porfyrevich Borodin & Carlos Kleiber & Erich Kleiber

Symphony No. 2 in B minor is the second symphony by Russian composer Alexander Borodin, completed in 1876 and first performed in 1877. The work exemplifies Romantic orchestral writing with expansive, lyrical themes, bold brass and rich string textures infused with Russian nationalist colour, and it follows his earlier chamber and vocal compositions as his principal large-scale orchestral contribution.
