a very good take on ones 'motivation' of musical likes and dislikes. In fairness I have listened to some rendition of Brahms’s 2nd piano concerto and it has something more for me, yet it might just simply be more 'accessible'? Maybe it has some sort ...

Personally I think his finest Bach is the set of Partitas.Widening the scope, his single disc of Brahms Intermezzi etc. is nearly incomparable.clark...

Yes, I am not at ease with the first movement of Carlos Kleiber’s version from 1981 as well. To me it is mostly about the orchestra tuning… The third movement in there I truly Kleiber-like: in the first movement they are juts tuning in and rehearsali...

Can anyone help me understand why I find this music so utterly 'directionless'?It is a digital recording from 1981 by DG (Stereo 2532 003)I experience this Brahms recording in particular, as 'going nowhere' , directionless, as if put together by some...

Hi Romy,In my copy the recording info is correct, it states it was recorded in 1967 at the Marinsaal.... (whatever) and remastered later, from an EMI recording.And going to the important. Yes, this is wonderful music, I never listened to that Brahms'...

Julia Fischer is coming in Boston in a few weeks with Beethoven Concerto and Mark Wigglesworth will lead BSO. I kind of slowly am contemplating to go or not to go. She is making a lot of good waves around the world… which is not necessary a good sign...

My original post asked: "Do you love Bartók?" - maybe you'd missed that?It was eluding to the famous novel's title by F. Sagan. Bartók's concert was just one of his compositions I'd listened too when writing the OP.Your response indicated to me that ...

[quote user="Paul S"]I will still buy clean Seraphims with good program material if I do not have the original. If I do have the original, I pass on the Seraphim, even as a "back-up", UNLESS it is a record I have loved so much that I am killing it.M...

Last and this weeks I played mostly LP records. I have only one arm and one needle setup after my move to new room – I did not decide that what final configuration I will have for my analog. Today, while I am in Brahms wave I played the entire box of...

Today was dark and rainy, and the electricity was much better than I have heard it for some time. Though I have not listened a lot since I did the recent changes, the parts seem to be breaking in nicely. Today I listened first to some Brahms Interm...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, for sure no one deny to Berlin Philharmonic rights to
make money. The boxes now cost $500 and I am sure that in 10 years Japanese
will be selling it on eBay for $10.000.
Anyhow, I do not buy these records but I a...

So I just need to click "open files" I add all the ones into a given work and the program plays them in a row. Probably sound quality is not near of what you get from your software, but considering how handicapped is the system I use, I really don't ...

[quote user="Axel"] Firstly, no form of criticism was implied, why at all? Bartók just seems to give you some form of 'empty notion' perhaps, as does Brahms with me. [/quote] I was not talking about Bartók. I told about the very specific Bartók's com...

Thanks for the compliment Romy - nice forum site you have here !!Yes, you really must hear the Tintner 7th - a very special performance, not just the opening. If I could only keep two 7ths I think it would be the Matacic 1967 & the Tintner....

Yes, I do know what you mean about Asahina. I have DVDs of a Brahms symphony cycle - 4 is good (not wonderful), 2 not bad, 3 is just plain boring (and it is one of my favourite symphonies). I haven't gotten around to 1 yet - t...

The musical performances on the disc all seem excellent to me. I particularly liked the Kodaly cello piece which was new to me. The sound quality (when played on the ghetto blaster) seems pretty good as well. It certainly brings that machine to life....

I share your happiness, although I only have the CD I can understand you, that 4th is wonderful.Would you share with us what other recordings belong to that especial shelf? I'd love listening to them if they're as good as the Brahms'... or maybe bett...

I understand. I wish I could go to the States anytime soon, but I'm afraid I need more holidays. In any case maybe you could, from time to time, comment us about some of them, whenever you listen to them or whatever. Some Beethoven, Mendhelsson, Brah...

I have to confess a sin - I was listening today the Myaskovsky’s cello concerto 5 times. It is not that I got hooked on Myaskovsky but Amphissa was right - Myaskovsky does have his own unique voice.
Myaskovsky is kind of a mix between Prokofi...

Clark,nope, my eyes are red because of the Reality. The polite guys - well educated Nazi officers - very much loved to play piano and discuss the details of the fine arts, particularly after a fresh kill of a few hundred people. It was a ni...

Why are so much don't like him. Sitting tonight at second violin concerto beautifully played by Stefan Jackiw and just really really don't like his music. Brahms 4 going to be in the second part of the concert, I will be recovering. Amy is playing.....
