Bernstein Brahms Symphonies

Here is the most convincing presentation of Brahms symphonies that I personally have ever experienced There is no explaining a gift like Leonard Bernstein a true legend and one of the truly great ones of the 20th century and a great Brahms conductor I have followed his career and recordings both at the NY Philharmonic and at Vienna other places too His brilliance and incandescence are revelatory in these Brahms performances His view of a thoroughgoing romantic Brahms expressing his passionate control of an inner rage in classical form is convincing He and this great Vienna orchestra give a consistent statement of it And of course Bernsteins introductory comments are without peer
