Carnegie Hall Presents Staatskapelle Berlin: Brahms Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2
$108-$189
- Yannick Nézet-Séguin, conductor
Johannes Brahms — Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73
Over the course of two concerts, Berlin's most historic orchestra performs the complete cycle of Brahms’s four symphonies. In this first performance, conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads the musicians in the heroic First Symphony, which established Brahms as a master of the grand German symphonic tradition, and the bucolic Second Symphony, the composer’s personal favorite and a piece that further cemented his reputation as Beethoven’s successor.
Please note that Daniel Barenboim has had to withdraw from his North American tour with the Staatskapelle Berlin due to health reasons. Conducting the orchestra in his place at Carnegie Hall is Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
