Marquee TV: Strauss & Brahms

Repertoire

• R Strauss Metamorphosen (26')
• Brahms Symphony No. 2 (40')

Performers

• Edward Gardner conductor

When memories turn into music, the personal becomes universal.

Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen rose from the ashes of wartime Germany, asking difficult questions even as it lays bare its heart. Brahms, meanwhile, wrote his Second Symphony on the sunlit slopes of the Austrian Alps – but happy memories have their own truth, and conductor Edward Gardner will bring the same insight and commitment to every note, whether tragic, troubled or glowing with joy.

_{New release coming to Marquee TV on 23 February 2025. The concert will be free to stream for 48 hours and will then be added to the LPO catalogue, available to Marquee TV subscribers.}
