It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Best all-around Brahms' 3rd--Wand's 80's NDR, believe on RCA

The most beautifully (and un-fussily) paced and played 2nd mov't, to me one of the most glorious individual mov'ts in all the symphonic literature, apart from the Bruckner 8th 3rd mov't.

I obsessed over different versions and alway come back to this one. On RCA CD I believe, coupled with the 4th, which is good but not as rarefied as the 3rd.

Walter has a tighter 1st mov't, but the sound.... Most of the time I can overlook sound but Brahms' writing is so luminous that Columbia's harsh, garish recording is heartbreaking.
