Symphony No. 2 in D, op. 73 / Tragic Overture, op. 81

Album by Johannes Brahms & Netherlands Symphony Orchestra & Hans Vonk

This release collects two orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, originally composed in 1877 and 1880. They exemplify Brahms's Romantic orchestral style through classical forms, dense yet transparent orchestration and rich harmonic language, and they occupy a transitional place in his output as he consolidated symphonic technique while exploring more overture-like dramatic gestures.
