Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3

Album by Johannes Brahms & Oslo‐Filharmonien & Mariss Jansons

Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3 is a pair of orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1877 and 1883 respectively. They exemplify Brahms's late-Romantic orchestral style — combining lyrical melody, rhythmic vitality, classical formal structures and dense harmonic development — and represent key points in his symphonic output as he moved from the breadth of his earlier work toward a more concentrated, motivically driven approach.
First released: 21st October 1999
