Customer Reviews

Masterful recordings
I recall that my first boxed set of Brahms symphonies on vinyl in the late 70's was this von Karajan and Berlin Philharomic recording, days when Bohm and von Karajan dominated the DG label. Since then I have had various CD recordings, buying one symphony at a time, before the days of CD boxed sets. The Halle with Stanislaw Skrowaczewski - fine budget recordings that should be re-released, the 1st with Solti/Chicago Symphony and the 2nd with Bernstein/Vienna Philharmonic, great full sound recordings. Latterly, in order to have a DDD boxed set, I bought Harnoncourt with the Berlin Philharmonic, which comes along with the Academic and Tragic Overtures and Haydn variations. Sadly, though very skilled performances I had to exchange these because of the incesssant coughing from one person in the audience who should have stayed at home. So, I am back to the safe recording of Brahms symphonies that I originally had on vinyl - bravo Karajan.
