Netherlands Radio Symphony Orchestra
Brahms struggled for almost two decades with his Symphony No. 1, yet his Symphony No. 2 seemed almost to write itself. Only a few months lay between the first sketches and the completion of the score. During a happy summer holiday, the composer, who was by nature pensive, had felt inspired by the idyllic background of the Worther lake. The carefree atmosphere of Portschach made it easy for Brahms to develop and complete the composition: "The Worther lake is a fertile base, melodies come flying out so fast, that one has to take care not to tread on them," thus he wrote to his publisher Simrock in 1877. In fact, following its first performance in Vienna on December 30, 1877, the work was praised by the critics as "poetic," "blossoming like spring" and in the best Beethovenian sense of the word, "pastoral."
