Title: Brahms symphony 4.Does it get any better than this???
Review: This is my own personal favourite of all the recordings of this symphony.It is possibly the slowest performance on record,but don't let that put you off,because it never drags,indeed the concentration of the playing of The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra ,here caught"live"(but with barely the trace of an audience)added to the magnetism of Giulini's control lead the ear persuasively onwards.The recorded sound is full and rich,capturing the burnished sound of the orchestra perfectly.The only thing preventing me from giving this recording the full five stars is that I know collectors tastes differ,and although this version satisfies me perfectly,other people may react differently,but on a personal level I can not recommend it highly enough.
