[quote user="JANDL100"] The Barbirolli / VPO Brahms 4 is waaaay too slow for me though - I just cannot get into the music when it's played that way. I do like some "slow" classics though - I love the way Celibidace slows a lot of music do...

I have a box set of Günter Wand conducts his North German Radio SO with 4 Brahms symphonies. It is celebrated recording from beginning of 80s. I like it but it always sound to me like play critical mass of Brahms without any finesse-Brahms. My versio...

Just listened to Gould’s unusual Brahms Intermezzi (See Music Board) via
the Loudspeakers for the first time. The speakers were powered by the MA-9S2s. Of
course I’ve noticed before how Gould deconstructs these pieces. Today I took
advantage o...

Yes, I very frequently observe this effect. I hear sometimes on air something that make me to call to the station and ask with version it was played and then to my sadness I realized that they play the LP or CD that I have and that does not produce t...

It is strange for the last could days in here. I learned a couple days back that my neighbor has died. He was in his 60s, He was pretty sick. It is not the he was a friend of mine. I have seen him a few times while I was working at my yard. We had...

for me, in answer to your first question.His violin-concerto, I have with Rainer, and various piano concertos do not give this notion of going nowhere. It is the 1st movement of the 4th symphony with C. Kleiber (I can’t listen past it, I get so a...

Axel, is this reaction of your ONLY about Carlos Kleiber’s version with Wiener Philharmoniker or is it your reaction to entire Brahms? If it is entire Brahms then be advised that there are people who do not “get” Brahms, there was a lot of said a...

I was truing to figure out what was my most impressive musical experience in just past year. After a little consideration and without naming the nominees I'm declaring the winner: Brahms Symphony #4 by Sir John Barbirolli and Wiener Philharmoniker du...

Last night we attended a stellar performance of Brahms 4th at Jordan Hall in Boston. It was preceded by Brahms 1st piano concerto which I found lackluster and uninspiring. I was prepared for a dull second half of the evening. This Brahms 4th wi...

All of those Brahmasenian conversations made me to take from home to my work today the "EMII References"albums with Weingartner and Furtwangler and spend today a day with Brahms. The Furtwangler does Brahms with Vienna Philharmonic, Weingartner with...

Firstly, no form of criticism was implied, why at all? Bartók just seems to give you some form of 'empty notion' perhaps, as does Brahms with me. I discussed this subject earlier today with my audio friend who would share your take on Bartók but does...

Eventually I was able to fish the LP of the Brahms #4 by Barbirolli and Wiener Philharmoniker during the Musikvereinssaal 1967. I got it in UK for somewhere around $50. I have a special ever-growing shelf in my room with the best performances ever we...

As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

[quote user="Paul S"] As for Brahms, we have discussed here that not all performers or performances make the most of the compositions. And this might apply to any number of composers, that one seldom hears their compositions rendered at their best. B...

Well, of course it should say "Aimez-Vous Brahms?" (the novel by Françoise Sagan), or also known as: " Lieben Sie Brahms?"Actually my answer to this to be honest is: No, I don't. Brahms, other then his Violin Concerto has so far not managed to captur...

In my search for my own sound of Schubert 9 (BTW I did found what I was looking for) I was listening the Mengleberg’s play from 30. The record I have in a part of a 4 records album dedicated to 80 anniversary of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. I did n...

I came across a mystery today that I have absolutely no explanation.
Like many others I like the Brahms #4 symphony. I have my favorite: my beloved Barbirolli with Vienna during the Musikvereinssaal 1967 . I also a big admirer of Carlo Maria G...

Yes, I am not at ease with the first movement of Carlos Kleiber’s version from 1981 as well. To me it is mostly about the orchestra tuning… The third movement in there I truly Kleiber-like: in the first movement they are juts tuning in and rehearsali...

[quote user="mats"] The Brahms is indeed a lovely 24/88 remaster. I also ordered and received the Wand Bruckner 1-9 box from the new Sony series, and there is no mastering information on the package as far as I can tell. Does anyone know if the...

Thinking of this discussion I just revisited a "time-related" post I made years ago:http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=9884Great work from Fritz Reiner, directing the RSO through Brahms' 4th Symphony, and perhaps worth a close l...

Can anyone help me understand why I find this music so utterly 'directionless'?It is a digital recording from 1981 by DG (Stereo 2532 003)I experience this Brahms recording in particular, as 'going nowhere' , directionless, as if put together by some...
