Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) remains a central figure of the Romantic era, renowned for his mastery of form and expressive richness. Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73, was composed in the summer of 1877 and premiered in Vienna on December 30, 1877. This work embodies a calm, pastoral warmth, framed within a traditional four-movement structure that balances lyricism and vigor. The conductor-led performers featured in recordings and live performances bring out the symphony's serene beauty: from the confident Allegro non troppo of the first movement to the spirited Allegro con spirito of the final movement.
