In Reply to: Levine's reference Brahms. posted by Sigmund on September 16, 2014 at 09:10:55:
Levine's Brahms One was top drawer w the Solti-era CSO..... Link to final movement.
James Levine was a George Szell protege, his prominence surfaced about the time national classical broadcasts were yanked from mainstream consumption in the late 1960s.... Had the broadcasts continued, I believe Levine would have been ranked up there with Stokowski, Toscanini, Reiner, Bernstein, and Szell as one of America's foremost conductors.
