The Fourth might be a monumental finale, the First a compelling struggle of birth, but Brahms’s Second Symphony is his most natural and fluent. It ‘springs forth like Minerva’ as Robert Schumann predicted, flowing effortlessly as a stream, abounding in pure, exhilarating joy. In its gregariousness it mirrors Franz Liszt: the great entertainer of 19th century music and the most brilliant virtuoso who ever lived. In his First Piano Concerto of 1855, Liszt strode onto the European concert stage and immediately changed its proportions forever.
