Description:

Kurt Sanderling & Yomiuri Symphony Brahms! The veil is finally lifted! A masterful performance that will be etched in the history of the Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra. Honorary conductor Kurt Sanderling's specialty, Brahms. All of Brahms' symphonies have been performed with the Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra except for No. 3. This performance of No. 2 was in 1980. It is interesting to note the difference between the two famous studio recordings (1972 and 1990). In a word, this is a passionate Brahms, with a lot of emotion. The coda of the finale is extended and its radicality reminds one of Münsch. The Sinfonia by Christian Bach, the youngest son of the great Bach, is also very prestigious, and its romantic expression is irresistible. The sound of Hibiya Public Hall, which at that time was still a hall of fame for classical music, is also a nostalgic part of this recording. Excellent analog stereo recording.
