A Paladin Among Brahms 1's.......2000-07-31

This performance puts others to shame. Brahms' first symphony was a work close to Furtwangler's heart, as Tahra's lovingly detailed liner notes inform us, and the sheer brilliance and passion of this performance leave no doubt of that fondness. From the first ardent timpani beats to the thunderous conclusion, Furtwangler is a nonpareil interpreter. Just listen to the first five minutes if you have any doubt; the tempo control is masterful, and the orchestra plays with an inner fire too often missing from today's slick corporate ensembles. Best of all, the sound is wonderfully vivid; Tahra has done a tremendous job remastering a recording that was in fine mono sound to begin with. Fans of this symphony cannot afford to be without this work
