Symphony No. 2

Album by Johannes Brahms & Sydney Symphony Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi

Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73 is a symphony by Johannes Brahms, completed and premiered in 1877. The work is a Romantic orchestral composition characterised by warm, pastoral melodies, clear classical forms and rich orchestration, and it occupies an important place in Brahms's output as a more relaxed, lyrical follow-up to his intense First Symphony, signalling his establishment as a mature symphonist of the late 19th century.

First released: 14th October 2016
