About this Artist

About This Item

Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker have recorded the complete symphonies of Johannes Brahms live in a series of concerts from the Philharmonie, Berlin. This is a major recording of music that is central to the tradition of the 127-year-old orchestra, and is bound to be as groundbreaking and revelatory as Rattle's earlier recording of the complete Beethoven symphonies with the Vienna Philharmonic.

The combination of the incomparable sound and musicianship of the Berliner Philharmoniker and the iconoclastic, visionary approach that has characterized Sir Simon's music-making over the past thirty years is likely to result in a set of recordings that will challenge, invigorate, and refresh this well-known and cherished repertoire.

Try Karajan or Abbadoby Ludwigvan1952

December 03, 2009: I was really looking forward to this. However it disappoints greatly. It is not a terrible recording, but neither does it reach the heights Rattle's predecessors set in this repertoire. Get the Abbado and/or Karajan (analog) sets. This orchestra can perform and sound much better than this EMI set might indicate.
