When looking for good reading of Brahms's complete Hungarian Dances, I tried also this recording - and it became my final choice. Very fine and polished, but still enough "dancing" performance, with balanced performances of all dances (there is no one, which could semm worse preformed than others) and very good recording quality, that's why this bargain-priced disc beats lots of recodrings of much more famous orchestras / conductors.

This is such a bargain ! There is no better recording of these magical, stirring pieces and there probably never will be. The players perform as if their life depends on it and every exquisite bittersweet moment is heartbreakingly rendered. The pieces typically oscillate between sheer hedonism and wistful melancholy - listening to these gypsy-inspired masterpieces makes the listener feel drunk with the sheer torture and wonder of being alive. I am sorry - I have to stop now and play it yet again !

This is a great recording of a stirring and uplifting piece of music. The dances alternate between soaring jubilation to mournful melancholy and all with a beautiful Hungarian folk lilt to them. I grew up on this CD and love it just as much now as I did as a child. This is a brilliant place to start with Brahms and an excellent recording. You can often find this at a good price, and is well worth a try, you shouldn't be disappointed.

A passable rendering.
Before I became properly interested in classical music, I used to wonder why there were different versions and performances available to buy. Read more

Disappointed
I purchased this based on my experience of Brahms performed on Gypsy Campfire by 101 Strings Orchestra and I found it flat and dull. Read more

A Very Good Listen
If you want music to listen to, Brahms Hungarian Dances is a perfect pick. Each song has its own identity - there's no copying of music like other composers have done. Read more
