Brahms: Symphonies Nos 1-4, Piano Quartet No. 1 (Orch. Schoenberg)

Luzerner Sinfonieorchester

Classical - Released April 7, 2023 | Warner Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
This is the debut recording with the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester by conductor Michael Sanderling, who recently ascended to the orchestra's podium as of 2023 when the album appeared. A set of Brahms symphonies, a crowded marketplace slot in the extreme, might seem a bold move in these circumstances, but nobody can accuse Sanderling of merely retreading others' steps. His Brahms is broad, slow, and detailed, seemingly opening the works into an expanded view. One attraction here, and one that could well bring buyers to the set on its own, is the rare Arnold Schoenberg orchestration of Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25, that concludes the album. Although all the melodic material in the work is Brahms', the work is quite characteristic of Schoenberg in its rich, brash orchestration. Schoenberg, in explaining why he made this version of a Brahms chamber work, said, "It is always very badly played, because the better the pianist, the louder he plays, and you hear nothing from the strings. I wanted once to hear everything, and this I achieved." That statement might serve as well as a general characterization of Sanderling's symphony treatments here. All of his tempos are well on the slow side. The Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98, clocks in at well over 46 minutes, perhaps six minutes slower than average for the work. The rest are similarly measured, with exposition repeats adding to the overall heft. Sanderling fills the spaces with orchestral detail. Sample the opening movement of the Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68, where the slow introduction is atomized into small gestures that do, in his reading, have their parts to play in the music that follows. However, the big tunes, in this symphony's finale and elsewhere, lose some of their impact; the long line is not quite long enough to sustain them. Sanderling is probably at his best in the Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90, with its compact thematic blocks in which he finds unsuspected layers. This new Brahms, also benefiting from the spacious acoustic of the new Orchesterhaus Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, certainly commands attention.© James Manheim /TiVo

Brahms: Symphonies 3 & 4

Herbert Blomstedt

Symphonies - Released June 5, 2022 | PentaTone

Hi-Res Booklet
Brahms's masterclass in symphonic variation. Herbert Blomstedt and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig close their acclaimed Pentatone Brahms cycle with the composer’s Third and Fourth Symphonies. Compared to the epic First and gloomily pastoral Second, Brahms’s Third Symphony is a glorious exploration of the chamber-musical possibilities of the symphony orchestra. While musical variation of elementary motifs already plays an important role in this work, Brahms shows his absolute mastery of that technique even more impressively in the Fourth. Blomstedt’s keen eye for analytical detail never goes at the cost of the music’s emotional resonance, and the Gewandhausorchester plays these symphonies glowingly, demonstrating their extraordinary ensemble sound. Blomstedt’s work as a conductor is inseparably linked to his religious and human ethos, and his interpretations combine great faithfulness to the score and analytical precision with a soulfulness that awakens the music to pulsating life. ©: Pentatone

Brahms: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4

London Symphony Orchestra

Symphonic Music - Released August 25, 2014 | LSO Live

Hi-Res Booklet
The energetic Valery Gergiev is hardly known as a Brahms specialist, but Brahms symphonies began to show up on his London Symphony Orchestra programs in 2013, and the present release on the orchestra's own LSO Live label captures several of those: each recorded performance is put together from a pair of concerts, a week apart, with each symphony recorded on successive nights. For those expecting interpretations in line with Gergiev's background as an operatic conductor, think again. His Brahms is almost airy, with clarity of contrapuntal line the paramount value. The final passacaglia of the Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 has rarely had so little implacable dark momentum but rarely so much explication of the mind-boggling contrapuntal and thematic linkages that so endeared the movement to Arnold Schoenberg. Both symphonies are curious readings that at times seem almost unemotional, but it gives the wind and brass players of the LSO plenty of chances to show their stuff. Gergiev also has a way with the group's sometimes temperamental strings; here they have a feathery grace that fits the overall concept beautifully and is rendered well by the orchestra's engineers. File it under offbeat readings, if necessary, but this is Brahms fully worthy of its illustrious interpreter. © TiVo
