Brahms’ Symphonies: No. 2 and No. 4
Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 is sometimes referred to as his ”pastoral symphony” due to the work’s many beautiful and singable melodies and its idyllic character. However, as so often with Brahms’ works, the music also contains darker undertones. These shifts between light and shadow can also be heard in the composer’s magnificent Symphony No. 4, with the fourth movement having become particularly renowned for its variations. On this occasion we hear these two masterpieces as interpreted by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, led by Daniel Harding.
This production is part of one or more concert series.

This concert will be broadcasted on the Swedish Radio P2 on May 13 at 7 pm when given from Barcelona during the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s tour in Spain.
