Product Description

From Amazon.com

The same London Philharmonic that sounds bored out of its collective mind on Wolfgang Sawallisch's Brahms cycle here seems to be playing on the edge of its seat. Eugen Jochum's much more positive direction is certainly at least partially responsible. He's a tremendously inspiriting Brahms conductor, and these are performances full of fire and passion. The Fourth Symphony comes separately, coupled with Klaus Tennstedt's German Requiem, and at the twofer price, these are four CDs not to be missed. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Jun 5 2004
By Anand Ramachandran (Bangalore, India) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is probably the finest Brahms cycle I have heard. Walter is good with 2 & 3 but is let down by his orchestra and the sound. Not only is the sound on this release excellent, Jochum has Walter's lyricism and is more muscular when needed. Morover, his tempi and phrasing are flexible unlike Abbado, Klemperer etc which means he makes the music really sing. Till I listen to Sanderling, to me this is at the top. When I play any symphony in this cycle, I don't feel like switching it off, it is so gripping.
