BRIAN: Symphony No. 2 / Festival Fanfare
Orthodox in its four movement structure, but ‘unorthodox inside’, Havergal Brian’s Second Symphony composed in 1930–31, was originally inspired by Goethe’s play Götz von Berlichingen. In 1972, however, Brian’s beloved daughter died, and the 96-year-old composer dedicated his forty-year-old symphony to her memory. Its meaning for him by then was ‘Man in his Cosmic Loneliness’.
