Title: Mr. Smoothie
Review: When I put this CD on for the first time I had high expectations. The opening of the Brahms no. 1 with the beating tympani and tortured strings is probably best described as apocalyptic. It was thus with laughter that I responded to this recording of the Brahms no. 1: Karajan takes it mf and andante. This is the apocalypse a la Mr. Smoothie: no rough edges, no bight, no edginess ... no excitement. And I think that typifies the set - it is simply unimaginative, laboured and at times comically so. Much better to get the Kleiber Brahms no. 4 and steer well clear of this collection.
