“We cannot express loudly enough our joy that Brahms, after having given powerful expression to the pathos of Faustian struggles of the soul in his first symphony, has now in his second symphony turned again to the earth in all its springtime blossoming.” These were the enthusiastic words of Viennese music critic and Brahms friend Eduard Hanslick which set the direction of interpretation for the second symphony a few days after its premiere in Vienna on December 30, 1877.
It is often referred to as Brahms’ “Pastorale” and as his most cheerful orchestral work because of the predominance of sweet moods recalling aspects of nature. Brahms himself dampened these expectations of his symphony with the following humorous remark to his publisher Simrock: “The new symphony is so melancholy that you can’t stand it. I have never written anything so sad, so plump. The score should be framed with a mourning margin.” This is, of course, a deliberate misdirection, but also a reminder not to overlook the darker side of the work.
At the same time, the work is another example of Brahms’s great ability to develop variation, as Arnold Schoenberg later called it, singling it out as a particularly forward-looking trait of Brahms’s compositional technique. From seemingly insignificant motifs, great musical structures with strong inner coherence are created through constant change and development.
The Tutzing Brahmstage is a small but elegant classical music festival. In 2022, it celebrated a double anniversary. The concert series was held for the 25th time and at the same time, it was the 125th anniversary of the death of the famous German composer. The Brahmstage festival takes place every year in Tutzing on Lake Starnberg in Upper Bavaria - the place where Brahms spent a summer composing important works in 1873. On four Sundays in October 2022, Brahms’ four great symphonies were performed together with one symphony each by Antonin Dvořák - the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth - in the Church of St. Joseph.
As one of Munich’s great symphony orchestras, the Munich Symphony Orchestra has been an integral part of the German musical landscape for over 75 years. They perform around 100 concerts a year in concert series in Munich (Prinzregententheater, Philharmonie, Technikum im Werksviertel), Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Kempten, with guest appearances and tours in Germany and abroad. The renowned and experimental orchestra with musicians from 17 different nations presents varied programs on large concert and open-air stages, in clubs, at unusual locations as well as in its own venerable rehearsal hall at the well-known Bavaria Musikstudios. The repertoire ranges from baroque music to classical and romantic works to film music, from modern classics to 21st century hip-hop and crossover.
Alondra de la Parra’s interview partners are French horn player Stefano Brusini and musicologist Stephan Beck.

How lovely, Brahms was my late husband’s absolute favorite composer, but he never explained why. I wish he were around to hear this, I am not a musician but Alondra presents many of the reasons I love these symphonies so much. Thank you.
