This is, to my ear, a superb performance of Brahms’ great First Symphony. This CD also provides very good sound quality – a pleasant surprise as I’ve found the sound quality on many Deutsche Grammophon (DG) CDs of performances of the Vienna Philharmonic and Berlin Philharmonic (in particular with Bernstein and Karajan, respectively, conducting) from the 1970s and 1980s to be significantly less clear than the sound typically found on Decca CDs from that period.
Some reviewers characterize this performance as “slow.” While certainly not brisk, I find this performance maintains sufficient forward momentum throughout such that I never perceive it as “slow” but am able to appreciate instrumental details and subtleties that I’d likely miss in faster performances. Bernstein performs the exposition repeat in the first movement (which he does not in his earlier performance with the New York Philharmonic on CD) which is also a plus to me. The timings on the four movements are: 17:31; 10:54, 5:36; and 17:54.
Listeners wanting more information about this performance before purchasing this CD can do a web search on “Brahms First Symphony, Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic” and will find a (purportedly 1981) video/movie with Bernstein providing some introductory remarks and a you tube video which appears to have this or an extremely similar performance. In addition, for those who are interested in seeing a detailed musical analysis of the performance recommend googling the “Brahms Listening Guide.”
Overall, I recommend this CD as containing a superb performance in very good sound.
