Brahms 2, with Sir Simon Rattle
Conductor Simon Rattle joins us to introduce the Symphony No. 2, by Johannes Brahms. Rattle says "this is a work where real unalloyed joy comes out, and that, in all of Brahms' output, is fairly rare." Rattle also weighs in on Brahms' gruff, very German sense of humor. And we'll go to a concert in Berlin, with Rattle conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, in the complete symphony.
