Product Review : Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98
49 of 53 people found the following review helpful A unique listening journey into the heart of darkness, By kmatumot@kirihara.co.jp (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 (Audio CD) Kleiber's interpretation, as always, is unorthodox and puts it in a different category from the rest--the Kleiber category. This famous award-winning recording is one to keep alongside the your other Brahms 4 recordings--perhaps not your main recording, just the most powerful and riveting. It's a cliche, but once you start listening, nothing can distract you from following Kleiber all the way to the end. However, if you are not already familiar with this piece, I would not recommend Kleiber as the introduction to Brahms Symphony No. 4. Get another one first and then compare it to this one. You'll then see how Kleiber chooses to forsake the Romantic librato altogether with his trademark "clipped" phrasing and instead draws the listener into the underlying structure. At first one might think this is a emotionally "detached" reading, but paradoxically, it is actually the most passionate performance available. The CD cover photo shows how Kleiber really got...

No other recording I have heard is so compelling in this respect. The listener is caught up from the beginning and totally involved until the end. Kleiber does not attempt to soften or tame the music. Rather, he offers an interpretation that embraces the score in all of its awe-inspiring beauty. 21 of 25 people found the following review helpful HMMMMM!, By This review is from: Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 (Audio CD) Well, it is amazing what this recording has done among melomans as the reactions here prove it. And one thing is certain that this is no usual Brahms recording. On the contrary is a pretty remarcable happening in the recorded music history. Now, let us consider the time of its appearance. It is 1981, some good years after almost all mentioned here as real Brahms achievers, at least on disc, were gone. Neither Furtwangler, Walter, Schuricht or Mengelberg were amongst us for a while then. So this recording came, in my opinion on a very dry land as far as good Brahms interpretations were considered. I might upset some here but Karajan and Abbado are far from understanding enough of Brahms to be real contenders here (Karajan judged well that the strings of Berliner can make a very beautiful sound with parts of this compositions). Giulini was doing a fine job even though he wasn't able to go really to the heart of this music. So, here comes mister Kleiber who makes a new case for... Read more |
