Overview

This 1978 release features Brahms' Serenade No. 2 in A Major, Op. 16, a delightful and sophisticated work often overshadowed by his more famous symphonies.

The Serenade’s structure, blending lively scherzos with deep lyrical movements, is performed with careful attention to the nuances of the Romantic style. The recording captures the essence of Brahms' musicality in vivid stereo sound.
