Brahms from heart, January 15, 2001
This review is from: Herbert von Karajan Conducts Brahms & Strauss (Audio CD)
Symphonies of Brahms were in the center of musical interests of Herbert von Karajan through all his life. He recorded Brahms symphonies cycles three times - in 60-s, 70-s and 80-s. He was and I think still is unsurpassed in that music. The first symphony was recorded by in stidio five times. This CD presents the first recording of 1943. This recording I think is the best one due to its inner feeling, sincerety and heart. Only his last recording of 1981 (DGG) partly remind it. Just try and listen to it - you will find out genuine Brahms and sincere open-hearted Karajan. The latter was disappeared later forever...
