(First installment: 8.557428) It is a restrained performance that blends an orthodox approach with the Germanic timbre of the London Philharmonic.\n\nFollowing his breakthrough work, the “Symphony No. 1”—which took 15 years of arduous struggle to complete—Brahms began composing his Second Symphony almost immediately. His friend, the scholar Philipp Spitta, wrote: “Although both the First and Second Symphonies are quintessentially Brahmsian, they stand in stark contrast to one another, representing the two most extreme stylistic poles conceivable. And yet, at a very deep level, one can see that these two works are rooted in the same source.”\nThis CD is the second volume in the new NAXOS complete Brahms symphony cycle, featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra—a major orchestra—and the popular female conductor Marin Alsop. The “First Symphony” was reviewed in *The Daily Telegraph* as follows: “Marin Alsop performed Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 with a careful balance between freshness and tradition. It is an interpretation that masterfully captures the combination of dynamism and lyricism in this symphony.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595559493921,"sku":"4945604574297","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604574297.jpg?v=1790481647","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-it\/products\/4945604574297","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
