In Reply to: Brahms and Schumann - I shudder to think about it! ;-) posted by Chris from Lafayette on January 28, 2016 at 18:49:19:
Actually, Chris, you might be surprised. First, let me emphatically state two things: (1) as you can guess from my moniker, I'm picky when it comes to Brahms; (2) try as I might, I cannot warm up to HIP, especially in late-Classical and early-Romantic repertoire. (My favorite Mozart conductors? Bruno Walter and George Szell.) So I approached Ticciati's Brahms SACD on Tudor with some trepidation. (Serenade No. 1, Haydn Variations, and a Hungarian Dance sampler tray) I think you would be hard pressed to find much evidence of twee HIP pretensions. The sound of the orchestra is dark and rich--very old-school. I wouldn't pretend to predict what he would do with the four symphonies, but the Tudor disc might allay some of your concerns. YMMV, of course.
