About

"In its second version of 1877, the Second is very compact; it is well balanced and you can easily appreciate the large-scale arcs of tension and empathise with them. At the same time the huge contrasts are thrilling. It contains wonderful melodies. The Adagio is almost like a description of a wonderful landscape, by which I mean an inner and an external landscape. This is not programme music, but this movement in particular does exude a great sense of intimacy, closeness to nature and humanity - indeed, it radiates such an overwhelming sense of love that one simply cannot tear oneself away from it.

"The
Scherzo on the other hand is at times coarse and abrasive. The Finale comes across as a whirling dance. So, in a nutshell, it is a mystery to me why this symphony is not played more often. It is a masterpiece!"
- Gerd Schaller
