Introducing Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings – The label of the Berliner Philharmoniker Second concert in the Brahms/Schumann cycle with Simon Rattle
In this concert, 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.
