Symphony No. 2 / Tragic Overture
Album by Johannes Brahms & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti
Symphony No. 2 and the Tragic Overture are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1877 and 1880 respectively. They exemplify Brahms's late-Romantic orchestral style: the symphony is characterised by warm, pastoral melodies and classical structural clarity, while the overture employs darker, dramatic textures and concentrated sonata-like development, placing both pieces within his mature orchestral output.
First released: 1985
