Symphony no. 2 in D major, op. 73 / Academic Festival Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & Josef Krips

Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73 and the Academic Festival Overture are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1877 and 1880 respectively. The symphony is marked by warm, pastoral sonorities and classical structural continuity within Brahms's symphonic approach, while the overture employs bright, celebratory brass and string writing, and together they reflect Brahms's consolidation of Romantic-era orchestral technique in the middle of his career.
