Second concert in the Brahms/Schumann cycle with Simon Rattle

In this recording from September 2014, Sir Simon Rattle pairs the second symphonies of Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann. Just the juxtaposition of these works reveals much of the inner working of the two composers: On the one hand, the masterfully gripping work by Brahms, on the other, Schumann’s Second, which he wrote while suffering excruciating auditory hallucinations.
