Symphony No. 2 In D Minor, Op. 70

Recorded in 1960, this performance highlights the sweeping hallmarks of the late Romantic period. The composer sought to prove his command over the grand traditions of the concert hall, resulting in a piece of remarkable melodic brilliance.

There is a palpable tension between the rigorous formal structures and the emotive, lyric nature of the music. The performance captures this balance with clarity, demonstrating the strength of the composer during a period of significant creative ambition.
