Symphonies nos. 2 & 4 & Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Philharmonia Orchestra & Otto Klemperer

Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4 and the Tragic Overture are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed between 1877 and 1885. They exemplify Brahms's mature Romantic orchestral style, combining classical forms, rich harmonic language, lyrical themes and contrapuntal textures, and occupy key positions in his middle-to-late career and in the wider symphonic repertoire.
