Symphony no. 2 / Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & London Symphony Orchestra & Enrique Bátiz & Utah Symphony & Varujan Kojian

This release is a classical orchestral pairing by German composer Johannes Brahms, comprising works completed in 1877 and 1880. The music exemplifies Romantic-era orchestral writing, with warm, lyrical melodies, dense string textures and prominent brass and woodwind writing, and it occupies a place in Brahms's middle-period orchestral output that reflects his consolidation of symphonic technique following his earlier symphonic experiments.
First released: 1987
