About this event

Completing this year鈥檚 cycle of Brahms symphonies, the Cleveland Orchestra returns to perform the sunny Second. The composer was in unusually high spirits while composing it, joking with his publisher, 鈥業 have never written anything so sad鈥�. The result, in fact, sets aside Brahms鈥檚 habitual seriousness and dramatic tensions in an open-hearted score of great warmth and appeal.

By contrast, Brahms鈥檚 Tragic Overture lives up to its name with turbulent intensity, and the concert is completed by J枚rg Widmann鈥檚 Teufel Amor 鈥� a musical account of the contradictions, tensions and resolutions of love, inspired by Schiller鈥檚 lost poem.
