"Vonk’s reading (of the 2nd Symphony) is lean and almost classical in feel ... well-played by the orchestra ... sound quality is excellent ..."
- MusicWeb International
Recorded in June 2003, a year before his death, this album marks one of the last sessions from Dutch conductor Hans Vonk with the Netherlands Radio Symphony Orchestra. The glorious and cheerful Symphony No. 2 is appropriately paired with the Tragic Overture on this Brahms programme that has received lavish praise for both the performances and sonic qualities.
