Boston Symphony Music Director Andris Nelsons leads the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in two masterpieces that highlight the virtuosity and expressive range of the young professionals of the TMC, starting with the Symphony No. 2 by Brahms, recorded on July 7, followed by a luminous performance of Ravel's Suite from Mother Goose, recorded on July 21. The program concludes with Hector Berlioz’s musical depiction of all-consuming, obsessive love, Symphonie fantastique.
