Symphony No.2 in D Major, Op.73 / Tragic Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Sir John Barbirolli & Wiener Philharmoniker

This release pairs two orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1877 and 1880 respectively. Both exemplify Brahms's mature Romantic orchestral style, marrying classical forms and structural clarity with warm, lyrical orchestration and moments of vigorous drama, and they sit centrally within his late nineteenth-century orchestral output.
First released: 2010
