Concerto no. 2 / Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Emil Gilels & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Fritz Reiner

Concerto No. 2 and the Tragic Overture are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1880–1881. They exemplify Brahms's late-Romantic style through expansive symphonic structures, dense harmonic language and robust orchestration, reflecting his mature approach to form and orchestral colour within his late-period output.
