Vladimir JurowskiAbout
Brahms took twenty-one years to complete his First Symphony, struggling under the weight of expectation as the worthy successor to Beethoven, renowned for his mastery of the symphony. Though this may have hindered Brahms’s speed, the result was worth waiting for – and the influence of Beethoven within this heroic work is undeniable.
His Second Symphony was completed in just a few months and the overall mood is one of pastoral lyricism.
Press acclaim:
Jurowski ‘freed the music to flow effortlessly from one dynamic, metre and tempo to another, eloquently and compellingly revealing how the parts evolved into the whole.’ - The Times, September 2008
‘Jurowski’s ability to galvanise the LPO was demonstrated in their stunningly fresh account of Brahms’s Second Symphony. By turns mellow and biting, the performance radiated enjoyment and even wonder – rare in such standard repertory.’ - The Sunday Telegraph, October 2008
Recorded live at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London, 25 May 2008 (Symphony No.1) and 27 September 2008 (Symphony No.2)
