Customer Reviews of Sym 1-4 / Piano Ctos 1-2 / Violin Cto / Double Cto
A Wonderful Bargain In this elegant and efficiently packaged compact box from EMI you get all of Brahms's orchestral music (except the two serenades) in first-rate performances at an unbeatable price. Wolfgang Sawallisch is one of the most distinguished conductors alive today and his performances of the great German classics are always worth listening to. Not a showman or an attention-grabber, Sawallisch unfailingly delivers beautifully thought-through performances that are nuanced and subtle. As a result, his work can strike some people as too laid back and emotionally reticent. Musicians, on the other hand, marvel at what they hear. (Check out the DVD version of the documentary film "The Art of Conducting," where long-time Sawallisch fan and colleague Elisabeth Schwarzkopf doesn't hesitate to mention him in the same breath with Klemperer, Boehm, Furtwaengler and Toscanini.) Especially if you're past the neophyte stage as a Brahms listener, you're likely to find Sawallisch's performances very satisfying. As far as specific performances go, let me admit that in another Amazon.com review I've compared these Brahms symphony recordings unfavorably with an earlier Sawallisch set on Philips. I've now changed my mind because EMI apparently has remastered the performances for this box set and they now sound marvelously fresh and alive - even better played(!) than on previous issues. Ditto the two overtures, Haydn Variations and "Schicksalslied." The concerto performances, gorgeously imagined and performed with scrupulous attention to structural detail, are also excellent. Sawallisch seems to have found his ideal partner in pianist Stephen Kovacevich, who matches the conductor insight for insight in the two piano concertos ... just listen to how magically Kovacevich and Sawallisch conjure Mozart in the finale of the B-flat concerto! The two string concertos are also done memorably by Frank Peter Zimmerman, with cellist Heinrich Schiff assisting in the great, late Double Concerto. Finally, the set provides a generous number of bonus performances including handsome renditions of the Mozart third violin concerto (with Zimmerman); some Brahms lieder (performed by Kovacevich and Ann Murray); and the wonderfully autumnal Horn Trio (where Sawallisch himself presides at the piano). Even if you own other performances of this music, I urge you to buy this set: it provides a remarkably satisfying brahmsian synthesis of public rhetoric and private emotion that I'm sure will continue to impress you the more you listen. Sound quality is marvelously warm and true for a digital recording.
all the music that fits...
if you're a fan of brahms' symphomies and concertos, then this EMI compilation is the perfect match...his four symphonies, two piano concertos, violin concerto, and double concerto are well presented by sawallisch, the berlin philharmonic, and soloists....nothing outlandish or unusual, just straight-on brahms for those who enjoy a good balance from the orchestra, soloists, and wallet.....if I had to choose only one cd release for brahms, this would be it.
