4.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable 'Different' Brahms Performances, 9 Aug 2008
By J. Gibbons (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I must admit I approached this set with some trepidation. It has, after all had some pretty bad reviews and rapdly vanished from the catalogue after it's first issue. I was very pleasantly surprised. The recording quality is first class and the Bavarian Radio Orchestra are a superb ensemble.

Davis has a very relaxed approach. These are not hard driven performances but highlight the natural lyricism of the music. This is of course very effective in the slow movements and I must say that of the third symphony is the most beautiful I've heard. But of course this beauty comes at a price! One misses the superb drive of a Toscannini or Bruno Walter in the outer movements but, I must admit, I did enjoy Davis' approach. It is perfectly valid in its own terms and I did find it deepened my appreciation of the music and highlighted, yet again, the fact that, in these works, there can never be a definative performance. They are too rich for that.

The Concertos are well played by Oppitz and Takezawa and Davis accompanies with great skill. Not the greatest performances ever but thoroughly enjoyable just the same. The same goes for the Overtures and Variations. I can recommend this box to all who would like a very reasonably priced set of these core works of the symphonic repetoire.
