Symphony no. 2 / Hungarian Dances

Album by Johannes Brahms & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Marin Alsop

Symphony No. 2 / Hungarian Dances is a compilation album of orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, comprising pieces composed between 1869 and 1877. Musically, it pairs the pastoral, classically structured Symphony No. 2 (completed in 1877), which consolidates Brahms's symphonic voice following his First Symphony, with the Hungarian Dances, originally piano pieces drawing on central European folk rhythms and melodies and later arranged for orchestra, illustrating his combination of Romantic orchestration and folk-derived material.
