Music Review: The Best Brahms 4th Symphony Currently Available
Rating: 5 Stars
LSO Live concludes Haitink's latest Brahms symphony cycle with this mezmerizing live recording of the Brahms 4th Symphony. Without question, this Haitink Brahms symphony cycle may be regarded as among the finest currently available. Haitink's stately, riveting interpretation of this symphony is as magical an interpretation as Carlos Kleiber's acclaimed mid 1980's Deutsche Grammophon account with the Vienna Philharmonic or Herbert Blomstedt's Decca mid 1990's account with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. Haitink has conducted the London Symphony in an unusually warm, vibrant performance of this symphony, which is replete with excellent solo performances from the french horns, woodwinds and strings. I was especially pleased with Haitink's dignified, but still brooding, interpretation of the 4th movement, which comes across as a musical interlude between darkness and light. For these reasons Haitink is without question one of our foremost interpreters of Brahms' music, though one little known to most North American classical music aficionados. Fans of the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor Bernard Haitink will not be disappointed with this recording. I believe that it is without question, the best recording of this symphony currently available.

Description of Brahms: Symphony No. 4
Loaded with German Romanticism and including variations on a Bach cantata, Brahms final symphony is a remarkable example of his mastery of symphonic composition. A rich, warm work that builds on a sense of movement and intensity right up to the final bars. This release also represents the completion of Bernard Haitink's celebrated LSO Live Brahms cycle that has included the symphonies, Double Concerto, Tragic Overture and Serenade No 2.Classical CDs
