CD Reviews

Decent performances of Brahms

W. Hill | Newark, DE USA | 10/02/2003

(3 out of 5 stars)

"These are sound, middle-of-the-road performances of Brahms' 4 symphonies. Nothing to shout about, but they're acceptable if you can find them at a budget price. The digital sound is a bit muddier than I could wish. I would recommend Sanderling or Karajan as alternatives to this set."

Pleasantly Surprised

T. Beers | Arlington, Virginia United States | 07/11/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mehta's Brahms comes as quite a surprise: very Mittel-Europa sounding, even mellow .... not at all the brash and frantic stuff he too often delivered in New York. If your ideal Brahms is Toscanini's or Szell's, better stay away from this. But if you admire Eugen Jochum or Raphael Kubelik in Brahms you might want to investigate this fine sounding digital set. Beautifully cultured playing by the Israel Philharmonic is another plus, along with "golden glow" sound from Sony. Why can't Mehta conduct like this more often?"
