Brahms: Symphony No. 2 in D major
Berlin Philharmonic
Sir Simon Rattle conductor
Overlooking a lake in the Austrian resort of Pörtschach, Johannes Brahms created a symphony that captured all he saw: the beauty of the sunset; the stillness of the night; the peaceful awakening to a new day. And yet its musicians were to play, said Brahms, as if 'with a mourning ribbon around their arm'.
Brahms's meeting of glowing melancholy and piercing brightness is the culmination of the Berlin Philharmonic's second Prom under Sir Simon Rattle, following DvorΓ΅k's colourful Slavonic Dances and a new work from Julian Anderson.
