Triumphant Brahms!
26 Mar 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Whenever I listen to this great work, I am reminded by its "sturm und drang" that it took Brahms 15 years to write the work and how its massive musical content was such that Brahms had to abandon his thoughts of writing it as a piano concerto, realizing that only as a symphony would that form suffice for what he had to say.
As a result he launched the counter attack to Wagner's growing hegemony over the future of music and proved that one could continue to work successfully in a purely symphonic context without the added elements of voice and text.
There have been a great number of conductors in our time such as Toscanini, Furtwängler, and Walter whose Brahms performances have thrilled audiences all over, but in this particular symphony the one generally held in highest esteem is the one by Otto Klemperer leading the Philharmonia on EMI.
Great as that is however, I'm convinced this one by Mariss Jansons, leading the Oslo Philharmonic at the summit of their relationship together, is even better. The woodwind playing is ravishing, the timpani crushing, and the brass and strings glorious in their discipline and tone.
One must say from a recording perspective that for this live performance the microphones may be set too far back to be ideal, but never-the-less this great work comes alive as never before and deserves the attention of all music lovers.
