For those interested in hearing some excerpts from the Monroe Symphony Orchestra’s performance on October 16, 2010, I’ve included a couple of highlights from the second symphony of Brahms.  I believe the recording was made with a minidisc recorder, and the only editing I have done is to pull out the excerpts from the context of the entire symphony and add a touch of reverb (our hall is incredibly dry).  Enjoy!
