Symphonies Nos 2 & 3 [1977/8 recording]
Album by Johannes Brahms & Herbert von Karajan & Berliner Philharmoniker
This 1977–78 recording documents two orchestral symphonies by German composer Johannes Brahms. The works exemplify Romantic-era orchestral writing, characterised by rich harmonic textures, expansive lyricism and rigorous motivic development, and occupy a central place in Brahms's symphonic output as middle-period statements bridging his earlier and later orchestral thinking.
