Kurt Masur
I have to recommend this box set of Brahms Symphonies and other works including his Requiem recorded in the 1990's by Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic. Warner Classics released this edition in 2014 and it seems fitting for me to be the first one to review it now as Kurt Masur sadly passed away at the end of 2015. He had been the music director of the New York Philharmonic from 1991 until 2002 and this had been seen as a very successful period for the Orchestra which had been a bit wayward until he took over.
He certainly did seem to make the sound of the New York Orchestra very smooth with its powerful glistening strings, beautiful woodwinds and strong brass playing. And this is what you hear with these graceful interpretations of Brahms Symphonies. In particular the 1st and 4th symphonies are outstanding.
I can include these recordings along with others I have including Karajan/BPO(DG),Swallisch/LPO(EMI) and Jarvi/LSO on Chandos.
Other Brahms works in this box set also include the Tragic and Academic Festival Overtures, Haydn Variations and very moving performances of Schicksalslied and the Requiem.
