5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent Brahms cycle, 4 May 2001
By A Customer
When these recordings were released in the 50s, some thought that they were a "conductor's holiday" - that Eugen Jochum interpreted too freely. It was at a time when Furtwängler was concidered oldfashioned and the pupils of Toscanini set the agenda. Today, personal interpretations of standard works are somewhat more popular. Jochum admittedly does deliver his own readings of these four symphonies, but what readings! From start to finish, he breathes life and meaning into every single note, and the music flows with a plasticity of tempo that makes each single symphony feel like a whole. If that is oldfashioned, then call me oldfashioned. Moreover, the Berlin Philharmonic has never before, nor since played better. Jochum draws a simply incredible quality of orchestral playing from the orchestra. It does not matter that the recordings are made before the stereo era. Buy them. They are vastly superior to any contemporary recordings if you ask me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why can't all Brahms be conducted like this??, 23 Sep 2004
By David C. Coleman (Birmigham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If anybody, like me, sometimes view Brahms' music as rather turgid and heavy-going then this is the set for you!. I've never enjoyed listening to the symphonies as much as this account from Eugen Jochum and the BPO from the 1950's. Ok it's in mono but don't let that distract you from the fantastic playing of this wonderful orchestra. And the wonderful flexible, almost swashbuckling conducting from Jochum.
Jochum, known for his Bruckner interpretations, takes on a very different style of music here. But, never-the-less is no less effective.
Just listen to the different textures that Jochum can draw from the different sections of the orchestra to make this music sing along.
To the dogged Brahms purists out there, this may disappoint!. But, personally speaking, it's a revelation. It actually makes his music sound more interesting - dare I say it more exciting??...
