Symphony no. 2 / Academic Festival Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms & Berliner Philharmoniker & Claudio Abbado

This release pairs two orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1877 and 1880. The coupling contrasts a broadly lyrical, pastoral symphony with a buoyant, ceremonial overture, illustrating Brahms's mature Romantic idiom and his development of classical forms through rich orchestration and harmonic language.
