Negative Positive
Title: Different string sound, not agreeable to all tastes.
Review: I downloaded this recording from a source other than Amazon, so I have to qualify my comments; the cd may sound different. I find the string sound of this recordingunpleasant. I enjoy some of the "period practice" recordings such as Mozart or Haydn, but for me Brahms needs a large 'modern' orchestra. There are tons of excellent recordings of this symphony from the 1950's through 2011 (say, Simone Young for a recent one). This recording I don't need.
Is the review positive or negative?
