Symphony No. 2 / Academic Festival Overture
Album by Johannes Brahms & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Riccardo Muti
Symphony No. 2 / Academic Festival Overture is a pairing of orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1877 and 1880 respectively. The symphony is characterised by warm, pastoral melodies and dense Romantic orchestration while the overture is more festive and brimming with march-like, academic fanfare elements, together illustrating contrasting facets of Brahms's mature orchestral language.
