Symphony no. 2 / Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Bernard Haitink

Symphony No. 2 and the Tragic Overture are orchestral works by German composer Johannes Brahms, composed in 1877 and 1880 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Brahms's late-Romantic orchestral style, featuring rich harmonic language, lyrical thematic development and contrasting moods that reflect his consolidation of symphonic technique in the later part of his career.
