Music reviews of Brahms: Symphony No. 1; Haydn Variations; Academic Festival Overture

Music Review: At the pinnacle of Brahms performances.
Rating: 5 Stars

Hearing once again Bruno Walter's Brahms First re-connects me with what is one of the outstanding realizations of this glorious symphony. In this singing, powerfully expressive account, the conductor's accents and shaping of detail usher into bold relief the music's sublime character. In the first movement, he is especially effective at characterizing the music's underlying tension. The brilliantly lit, poignant tones of the second movement are presented in as musical a manner one could wish for. The less intense and more freely flowing third movement nicely benefits also from the conductor's special touch. In the early portion of the final movement, Walter elicits a marvelously atmospheric effect from the clarion call of the broad, noble sounding horn that follows the dark, fleeting clouds. Then, from the famous stately tune on, he neither loses sight of the music's singing line nor its surging intensity. I only wish he would have proceeded at a quicker pace following the spot I refer to as the powerful churning of the gears toward the close. Nevertheless, the final chords are most convincing. Along with Klemperer/Philharmonia and Van Beinum/Amsterdam Concertgebouw(his 1958 stereo recording), this is a Brahms First for the ages....Walter's Academic Festival Overture brims with color, joyousness and grandiosity. It has never been bettered. The Variations on a Theme of Haydn also benefits greatly from his affectionate and poetic approach. This cd is a tribute to one of the greatest lovers and interpreters of the music of Brahms.
