Anyone going to fork over $600 for the Rattle Brahms?
Posted by TGR on March 15, 2017 at 18:25:16:
I was, and actually still am, impressed that major artists like the Berlin Philharmonic and Simon Rattle would do a set of the Brahms symphonies on direct to disc. Would love to hear them, but not being an admirer, in general, of Rattle's conducting ( or maybe I should just say I don't have many of his recordings, which might say something), I don't think this is a good use of my funds. In fact, I just sprung for the stereo van Beinum recording of Brahms 1st, which I believe is an extremely vital recording, and the sets of Brahms I have already seem to do the trick - Walter and Abbado, foremost. I also own Karajan, Klemperer, Sanderling, Kertesz, and probably a bunch others. But again, I would love to hear there.
