Johannes Brahms: Symphony No 2 in D major (Prom 15)
"Brahms’s sunny Second Symphony, whose lyrical, pastoral spirit harks back to Beethoven's own ‘Pastoral’ Symphony (No. 6).
This symphony was written in the space of one summer in 1877 in Pörtschach am Wörthersee, in contrast, his first symphony took 15 years to complete. "
