Brahms's Second Symphony has been nicknamed his 'Pastoral'; it is lyrical and mainly in major keys. The three notes heard at the opening of the work generate most of the melodic material throughout the symphony, and the second theme of the first movement references the composer's famous lullaby. This recording is conducted by the Philharmonia's Honorary Conductor for Life, Christoph von Dohnányi.
