Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 with Conductor José Luis Gomez
A truly Russian composer in most instances, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov infused Spanish folk melodies into his Capriccio espagnol. Inspired by the extensive and picturesque grounds of the Royal Palace in his home country of Spain, Joaquín Rodrigo’s gorgeous Concierto de Aranjuez has become the most popular concerto ever written for guitar and orchestra.

Johannes Brahms wrote his Second Symphony during a lakeside summer retreat in Austria. Following his serious and grand First Symphony, it’s a composition with beautiful melodies and complex moods that seemingly reflect the relaxed yet focused mindset of Brahms at the time. Listeners find that the surprisingly bold finale is energizing and elating, resulting in absolute delight throughout the symphony, from start to finish.
