You can't possibly be a trombonist and not really love this work. I'm fortunate enough to have performed it, and it's one of my favorites. Brahms is amazing.
I have a copy of the trombone part and use it as part of my practice regiment sometimes, playing along with recordings I have of it at home.
Brahms is one of my absolute most listened to composers, maybe my favorite by virtue of the many masterworks he wrote that Ive heard. I listen to Haydn Variations for orchestra and Handel Variations for piano almost all the time, at least every week it seems.
@Metasisic I wholeheartedly concur. The Haendel Variations are one of my favorite works as a pianist.
I am not a connoiseur, but Bernstein's interpretations always transmit me a feeling of balance and perfection.
Brahms's symphony No.2 in D major is always my favourite piece, and Bernstein's interpretation is second to none. I especially love the exposition repeat, which makes the long and expansive first movement a truely delight. Thanks for sharing.
The fourth movement is a force to be reckoned with! It fills your heart with joy amidst all the doubts, and when you think you have your tears under control, burst them forth is all you can do when those glorious final bars commence! My God in Heaven! Preserve classical music! Mankind has not done much right but classical music is where we were divinely inspired truly!
The final movement is always so thrilling to listen to.

3. Allegretto grazioso 32:47
4. Allegro con spirito 38:22
you're welcome
Thank you
Thank you very much!
Melody with counterpoint in unique style that only Brahms knows how to write and Bernstein knows how to interpret. It is not a secondary symphony it is a major work. I love Brahms and Bernstein.
This is true. Great composer.
Bernstein is (or can sometimes be) a true genius, but to be fair, Giulini in his recording or the 3rd, Kleiber in his 4th, not to mention Klemperer or Walter, are at the same level.
Absolutely stunning interpretation! And thank you Bernstein for playing the repeat of the exposition in the first movement: after all, it's an indication of the composer and it MUST be followed!
It' s the perfect symphony, for me.
This glorious symphony, which is often recognized as the Brahms Pastoral, is my favourite, and this version by Bernstein is among the best.
Been a musician all my life so no beating bout the bush - this performance kicks ass.
Holy crap that ending.
Bernstein takes the first mvt's repeat--showing rare insight. With the repeat, this movement by itself lasts 20 minutes! And those 20 minutes are pure delight. The moment of truth comes just after the 5:00-minute mark. Brahms knew what he was doing, and so does Bernstein. Bravo!
Repeats serve a function...
No other recordings on TH-cam take the repeat- not even Celi.
And he takes more time with it the second time around!
Abbado does it too!
Wow, I listened carefully and realized-I’ve never heard the transition to the repeat, so obviously never heard a performance that honored a repeat. Wonderful.
Pogodna, łagodna i nastrojowa. Uwielbiam tę symfonię.
Thank you. Previous version with numerous comments disappeared, glad I found this again.
Passionate and soulful.
I'm really loving this. I have always thought of the 2nd as a poor cousin to 1, 3 and 4. This performance is changing my view.
There is another version of Karajan which is slightly faster and in 720p sound quality instead of 480p @Axel X
That’s fascinating for me, because the 2nd was always my favorite, almost to the point of embarrassment-I thought perhaps it was “too easy” to love. It’s the only symphony in all of Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms that completely infatuates me, every movement, every meter and melody, every choice of orchestration. I’m usually in tears before finis.
I have only recently got into his symphonies 1 to 3, after knowing his 4th quite well since a youngster - it was in my parents' early and very small vinyl collection. It's remarkable music, for me it takes a few listens before I can fully appreciate it, and it's wonderful.
@@timhaigh2557 interesting, I too grew up listening to my dad play albums he purchased from Korvettes, on our gigantic furniture piece stereo. So this music has its own beauty and the beauty of the feeling of home
Bernstein and Kleiber are probably my favorite late 20th century conductors overall, and while Kleiber's 1988 live recording on TH-cam is superb, I think this beats it, because the Second offers up a a ton of pathos and drama, even in the speedy opening of the final movement, and Kleiber's is a little too fast to express that drama. Although there may be a couple of passages in the symphony where Lennie draws it out a bit too much, for about 46 of the 48 minutes it is utter heavenly perfection. Even without the video, you can visualize Lenny, with streams of sweat streaming down his face, dragging the excitement out of the orchestra with his arms, and requiring about ten seconds after the final note to breathe and return to this earth from the heavens to which he had been carried away for three-quarters of an hour. Thanks so much for the upload.
10:27 belíssima melodia, absolutamente angelical.
This will quench the dryness of the soul
I'd spent so long , as a Mitropoulos fan taking an anti Bernstein stance that I'd missed how much love there is in this performance!
Its as if Bernstein was rediscovering the thing whole, and it is classic,schmaltzy, in a great way, and not necessarily the number one performance, it is absolutely essential listening
His Brahms is fabulous, especially this, the 3rd and the 4th symphonies, and the Tragic Overture.
13:35 is perhaps the most beautiful recapitulation I have ever heard!
I agree I love deeply this symphony ; for the Brahms 's fans, there is a beautiful museum in Murzzuschlag (Styria in Austria)
I was listening with my eyes closed and realized that it was not the end of the coda, but the end of the development!
Thanks, HarpsicordVal. Bernstein is brilliant--as always.
MAGNIFICO
I've only just realised, the four symphonies are not really separate works. They are four grand movements.
You are very right

Interesting 🤨
"Il buon giorno si vede dal mattino... Oggi sarà una magnifica giornata! Giuseppe
Now when I was little, my brother Steve was working at radio station WBBF, and he was on the FM side (the FM station) Now you went in the AM side, past the reception area, and you went down a hallway, and you came to the sales and all of the promotion offices for the radio station.
You go beyond that, and you are also greeted by a whole bunch of
glass windows, cartridges, and machines.
One of the rooms is the main broadcasting room for WBBF 95,which is the AM side, and it also has echo, which is electronic tape echo.
Now the djs on BBF, were:
Jack Palvino, Tim Griffin, Larry White, Ferdinand J. Smith, Art Gibson,Jerry Horowitz,who was on the air on Sunday evening, etc.
I remember listening to the Jerry Horowitz radio show on BBF.
Now he'd come on, and he'd say,
"We have Melanie and friends coming up in a little while or so, so stay tuned to Radio 95.
You need not wonder why. Just a little bit of commentary, that's all.
These are the Rascals and People Got To Be Free on WBBF!!" and when Jerry Horowitz played that record from the Rascals, it also terrified me to death, because I was very afraid of that song from the Rascals that was often heard on
WBBF.

How on earth can anyOne think those of us who love Bernstein will ever choose this download again when adverts come blasting in at the most inappropriate moment. Just crass!
Get Adblock, it really works.
The rights holder (UMG) forces them to be put in. It is possible for the uploader to mark where they should be, and the yellow marks indicate that they SHOULD be between the movements, but apparently youtube sometimes ignores that and puts them in random places.
Superb. Thank you for posting.
2:57 - that theme is haunting
A variant of the Brahms lullaby in homage to his mother, whom he dearly loved. Also, similar to the Waltz in A flat major op 39 no 15.
I've never been attracted to Brahms until I heard this, just lovely.
That was HEAVY
THANK YOU!!!...
EN VERDAD QUE SUENA UNA BELLA INTERPRETACIÓN, TRANSMITE SU AMOR Y SU ESENCIA MUSICAL.
15:01 beautiful theme
Of so many!
It really seems that the only orchestras trombones play that final ff blast with the sufficient punch are Vienna and Berlin Phils. They hit it almost as if it had an > over it with incredible instant intensity. Most other orchestra trombones just play it straight and sort of loud.
Lullaby
Maestro Leonard Bernstein:"Lei è un Grande! Ho scritto in questi ultimi giorni una nuova composizione per pianoforte 🎹 "Il Cucu'... Sono certo che Lei l'ha ascoltata da lassù. Herzlich Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
P.s. è facile... dedicata ai bambini
Pour moi, l''association Brahms/Bernstein fait partie des incontournables, des versions les plus émouvantes, les plus abouties.
How bout a beer maestro?
Le plus grand de tout les compositeurs
sincere thanks for uploading and greetings from tasmania...
Brahms tiene un poder evocativo sin par
Te remueve recuerdos, vivencias con magia agregada
Puedo entender de su maravilloso contrapunto pero va más allá
Sólo Brahms tiene el secreto
thanks ! vielen Dank ! :-) merci infiniment ! :-) I m a great fan of J. Brahms and L. Bernstein. do you know the wonderful Brahms's Museum in Murzzuschlag in Styria (Austria) ? Brahms was living in the village during 1887/1888 ; he composed here his third symphonie ; every day he was walking among fields, woods and moutains around Murzzuschlag ; but when I discovered the circuit , it reminded me the first mouvement of the second symphony.. I love deeply Bavaria, Austria and their great composers too :-)
Pochi hanno espresso la malinconia nell'arte come Brahms... Giuseppe
Inoltre dotato di uno stile personalissimo .Per me è il direttore che preferisco assieme al mitico Karajan e ci metto anche , perché no,il nostro Riccardo.
ingenious work by JB - truly amazing
Such an underestimated masterpiece of symphonic compositions.
Underestimated? It’s universally considered a masterpiece.
@@MD-md4th Yes. It’s underestimated.
Bernstein sopravvalutato?Ma per favore.Le sue esecuzioni delle sinfonie di Brahms e Beethoven alla Musikverein sono leggenda! Così come i concerti per pf con il giovanissimo e precocissimo Zimmerman.E che dire di Mahler :la sua 5a con la NYPO è ancora oggi un icona insuperata.Bernstein è stato uno dei più grandi direttori.
Would I be right in calling Bernstein a romantic? Is that now a thing of the past? I love this interpretation! It really sings.
E Vero!

Adblock fixes that.

Grrgrgrgrrrrr 🥵
The commercial interruptions render this presentation useless.
Secondo me penso che Berstein per condurre Brahms è stato il migliore così come H.V. Karajan è stato per Beethoven. Grazie mille harpsichordVal.

The finale is just too slow - it gets bogged down at this tempo.
When I close my eyes while listening to Allegro non troppo, I see a Space Station on Solaris (Stanislaw Lem).
Valsul regretelor va veni un pic mai târziu .
Preciso: Riccardo Muti.
This symphony, and this particular recording, are watersheds in the alluvial course of European culture. Brahms finished his 2nd Symphony in 1877, when he and Western Civ were both standing at the autumnal frontiers of an epoch-four centuries of slavery had finally been abolished from the face of a spiritually wounded world, the first Geneva Convention recognized the barbaric excesses of war even though the earlier Peace of Westphalia had established national borders, which held people responsible for violating their neighbors. The various colonial projects were embittering colonizers and empowering their subjugated peoples, as germs, guns and gods were bowing to empiricism, epistemology and ententes.
The evils of European modernity and their rectifications all originated, arguably, in seeds unearthed from Antiquity, sprouted in the Renaissance and harvested by the Enlightenment. A new paradigm sanctified the individual and unleashed ideas like Newton’s mechanics, Leibniz’ calculus, Kant’s Imperative, Beethoven’s Eroica, Humboldt’s isoclines, Mendeleev’s elements, Byron’s heroic martyr, Goya’s martyred heroes, Goethe’s redemptive struggle, Maxwell’s electromagnetism, Tolstoy’s humanist narrative, Pasteur’s inoculated humans and Darwin’s human evolution.
You might think world peace and global prosperity were just a hot-air balloon ride away, but not five decades later the entire world was listing from two convulsions of murderous amnesia, human empathy was splintered, and sentience barely recognizable.
And yet a cosmopolitan, bisexual Jew is symbolically welcomed from the New World back to the Old by the city that failed to contain the antisemitic ambitions of a native son. Now the European center of political, economic and moral gravity, the Austro-German anchors of Central Europe, are again pivotal figures of European unity, the heart of EU cohesion, the most open arms for refugees from foreign barbarism, and the venerable champions of Western esthetics and ethics-Sappho, Pericles, Aristotle, Tacitus, Bartolome, Luther, DesCarte, Spinoza, Locke, Kant, Montesquieu and Lincoln. Soundtrack? By Brahms!
In fact, next time malcontents grumble, provinces rumble, stock-markets tumble and civility crumbles, let’s ask that Brahms, not Bismarck, become the talisman for discussion, the preferred totemic maypole for choreographing our Schicksalslied.
Beautifully put!
Sativa?
After reading that I feel completely mediocre.
herbietccc Worse-sobriety! But I made some edits to lower the stoner quotient.
John RONDEAU Oh, John-my original post was mediocre! I was so embarrassed I edited it. Hopefully I don’t sound so much like Henry James lost transcriptionist.
The 1st mvt. is beautiful; the finale exciting;; the scherzo graceful; but, alasl the slow mvt. bespeaks a person writhing in a miasma of turgid intellectual convulsions!
Nothing quite as disappointing as having this sublime music interupted by an ad for pizza..
One word: AdBlocker.
Far tooooo slooooooooooooooooow.
Leonard Bernstein fu un direttore d'orchestra molto sopravvalutato.
Giuseppe Roberto Mignosi MA CHE CAZZO DICI KARAJAN FU SOPRAVVALUTATO...BERNSTEIN E STATO IL MOGLIORE E STATK LA MUSICA...MUTI E SOPRAVVALUTATO...UN IMBECILLE CHE CORRE COME UN COGLIONE DI MERDA
@@ballaballapo si vede che di musica e di direzione d'orchestra ne capisci pochino. E parlo per il commento su Karajan. Riguardo a Muti invece ti quoto. Se fai il direttore d'orchestra - come lo faccio io - sai che il mondo della direzione d'orchestra è diviso in due grandi tronconi. I direttori d'orchestra (bravi, meno bravi, nulli come me) e Karajan. Bernstein? Il solito fenomenino giudaico americano nato e creato per contrastare appunto Karajan. Con scarso risultato, peraltro.
Puccini e la sua Lucca www.puccinimusic.com MMMM NON CREDO KARAJAN NON MI È MAI PIACIUTO, LO TROVO POCO INCISIVO (PECCA SECONDO ME ANCHE DI SCARSE QUALITA DELLE SUE REGISTRAZIONI DOVE ALCUNI STRUMENTI NON SI SENTONO, NON PER COLPA SUA CREDO), POI BERNSTEIN L ' HO SEMPRE TROVATO INCREDIBILE PER IL SUK PATHOS E LA SUA DRAMMATICITÀ...DI DIREZIONE E DI QUALITÀ NE CAPISCO UN POCHINO, SONO MAESTRO DJ CLARINETTO, NON DIRETTORE D ORCHESTRA OK, MA SONO UN ASCOLTATORE BISOGNOSO E VOLENTEROSO DI QUALITÀ!
Puccini e la sua Lucca www.puccinimusic.com POI COME VEDI SIAMO D'ACCORDO SU MUTI CHE TROVO INCREDIBILMENTE VELOCE, INESPRESSIVO E INCONCLUDENTE...SOPRATTUTTO NELL OPERA È UN DANNATO, COSTRINGENDO I CANTANTI A SNATURARE ARIE D OPERA E COSTRETTI A RINVORRERE UN COGLIONE DANNATO COME MUTI! TI RIPETO KARAJAN PECCA MOLTO DELLA QUALITA DELLE SUE REGISTRAZIONI POI A LIVELLK EMOTIVO BERNSTEIN MI DA SEMPRE QUALCOSA IN PIU...SI TRATTA DI SOGGETTIVITA!
You are wrong.
doesn't this guy know how to write a melody? I keep waiting for one to start, and it never happens! All he has is long lyrical phrases that come out of nowhere and do nothing, which turn into motifs that he orchestrates the hell out of. But nothing happens!
Stop embarrassing yourself publicly until you understand symphonic music.
@@OuterGalaxyLounge well I guess you told me! If your picture is you, I have been doing symphonic music at least twice as many years as you. Means I have listened to at least twice as much Brahms as you. So there is that. But you are clearly way smarter than me!
It’s over your head.
@@MD-md4th well, he *did* write a lullaby that everybody loves. but you still havent addressed the melody issue.
@@tonyprost5575 Well, did you recognize that the second subject of the first movement of this symphony is in fact a variation of the “lullaby”? Probably not. Brahms wrote innumerable beautiful melodies. The First Symphony’s finale has a famous one. The Third Symphony is brimming with beautiful melody from start to finish. So is the Fourth. The Violin Concerto is famous for the lyric beauty of its melodies. So are the piano concertos. The chamber music and solo piano music of Brahms overflow with melody. No, these are not the long-winded, melodramatic melodies of Tchaikovsky - they are much more introspective. Also, they are tightly woven into the architecture of the music. You seem like type of person who might respond more favorably to show tunes.
