Title: Only buy as a supplemental version
Review: If you do not have a recording of the Brahms 3rd, I would not suggest this CD to you. The performance is simply too eccentric. I would suggest Szell, Walter, Reiner or Solti. And if by some strange luck you find a copy of the long deleted Steinberg recording, grab it right away. It is a great performance. If you already have one of the above, this recording may interest you. It is a perfect example of how not to conduct Brahms. Despite, that negative comment, it does have some moments of interest but not enough to be your only version of a great masterpiece. The Strauss tone poem is pretty much a disaster because of poor orchestral playing. Again, I would suggest the Szell recording. Despite it age and analog sound, it is still hard to beat.
