About
Sir John Eliot Gardiner leads the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique in performances of Schubert's Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major D.485 and Brahms's Serenade No. 2 in A Major, Op. 16 recorded live in concert at The Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. In Serenade No.2 a 20-year-old Brahms chooses to omit violins, creating an unusually dark sound, while the lively style of Schuberts Symphony No.5 seems to reflect the composers youthful exuberance.

Awards and reviews
November 2018
This performance glories in the pungent qualities of Brahms’s orchestration and there is no denying the infectiousness they capture in the faster movements in particular. There is much to admire in this well- recorded performance.
November 2018
For its combination of tenderness, gravity and springtime joys, the performance may be set alongside Klemperer’s Philharmonia…It’s a disc of pure delight.
2nd September 2018
Both are finely played; Schubert’s first-movement allegro starts a bit hectically, but gives delight.
