5.0 out of 5 stars A great set, February 7, 1999
By A Customer
It's hard to believe that Barenboim was only in his 20s when he recorded these concertos; the performances show emotional depth far beyond his years. Barbirolli and the New Philharmonia provide beautiful playing and the entire production is cohesive, powerful, and the remastered sound is amazingly good. While it won't displace the Fleisher/Szell or the Gilels/Jochum sets, it's essential listening for anyone who loves this music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmatched power and authority, November 10, 2005
The other reviewers have stated all the things I feel about this 1967 set of the two Brahms concertos from Barenboim and Barbirolli. These are grand, broad readings--the Second Concerto in particular is among the slowest on record. (Gilels and Jochum, also slow, sound ponderous and "official" by comparison.) Soloist and conductor give themselves time to phrase with great expressivity, but what really keeps the tempo from lagging is Barenboim's powerful pianism, abetted by EMI's under-the-lid miking. There's not a seocnd when the piano sound isn't two inches from your ears.

If you want to hear Brahms interpreted very personally, as if he really matters, this set is one of a kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, that's power, October 18, 2000
By "mcnoldy" (Fort Collins, CO USA) - See all my reviews
A fantastic 2-CD set of some of the finest piano music out there. I'm a big fan of Mozart's piano concertos, and this is going to proudly share the same shelf with those CDs. Highly recommended!
