These Jochum performances of three of Brahms' four symphonies, together with the Academic Festival and Tragic overtures, are vintage 1970s Kingsway Hall recordings, remastered on a 2CD bargain price issue from EMI. And what a bargain ! Eugen Jochum, steeped in the Germanic tradition, knows exactly how he wants these symphonies to sound and the London Philharmonic Orchestra rise to the occasion with playing they have probably never bettered, with producer Christopher Bishop giving them a sound to match. A dramatic First Symphony is followed by a wonderfully lyrical Second and a warm and weighty Third. What a pity then, that to complete the Jochum Brahms Symphony set you will have to buy another 2CD bargain EMI issue to get the Fourth, but coupled with a far less inspiring Brahms German Requiem and Schicksalslied, from Klaus Tennstedt. Still, don't let that put you off these 2CDs of inspired Brahms at almost a giveaway price. This set has replaced my Bruno Walter discs as my first choice listening for these Brahms symphonies - there can be no higher praise !" (http•••) "Brahms: I've written elsewhere about Jochum's extraordinary achievements in the symphonic works of Brahms and – aside from Bruckner – this is the music for which the conductor is most remembered. Jochum's first cycle was made with a post-war Berlin Philharmonic, and not only did he obtain staggering results given the time period, but nobody in Berlin has yet been able to match it (though Abbado comes close!) Late in his career, Jochum led the London Philharmonic in these marvelous performances. At first, it might have been disappointing to listeners to discover the Philharmonic had been chosen. After all, EMI had been making important recordings in Dresden, Vienna, and Berlin. The London Philharmonic would have (rightly) been seen as inferior, and maybe it still is. Even for modern listeners, there's a good chance that some of us missed these recordings the first time around. The cycle was split across two two-disc sets a few years back, and while that might have made sense at EMI, it would probably have been best to just box the cycle up and call it a day. Here at last, everything is sensibly collected, along with the overtures and a smattering of overtures by Beethoven from elsewhere in London. The cycle shows the London Philharmonic in absolutely smashing form. Jochum elicits stunning virtuosity from his players, to the point where one doesn't regret the choice of orchestra at all. Again, comparisons with Furtwangler are telling, because at no point does the older conductor come close to executing similar results in his Brahms. Sure, Furtwangler has perhaps some of the greatest "conceptions" of Brahms ever, but what is a conception if you can't hear it outside of the conductor's head? Each disc in this box is generously filled, sounds great, and represents each composer faithfully within the "Romantic" and Germanic tradition. Purists will undoubtedly prefer a lighter and more (currently) idiomatic sound, but for those of us who like this kind of thing (and admit it, there's still lots of us), this Icon set is one of the brightest and best in terms of how to acquire all of this music at once. I say this a lot these days, but both seasoned veterans and curious listeners will find endless enjoyment here." Brian Wigman (http•••)

Two legendary studio recordings and a 1951 concert from Munich: the small but precious Decca legacy of the 20th century’s greatest recreative conductor, Wilhelm Furtwängler. While the performances of Wilhelm Furtwängler issued by Decca have been made available in small and large compilations, they have never been issued in this convenient format. They include a 1948 studio account of Brahms’s Second Symphony with the London Philharmonic, a Vienna Philharmonic studio recording of Franck’s Symphony from 1951, and finally a complete concert which the VPO gave with Furtwängler in Munich on tour, playing Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, Schumann’s First and Bruckner’s Fourth Symphonies. Each recording is precious in its way. First issued by Decca in its Eclipse LP series, the Bruckner makes a fascinating comparison with a performance given by the VPO and Furtwängler a week earlier in Stuttgart, widely available, but the Schumann First is unique within the conductor’s discography: majestic and superbly built, as one would expect, but not without the fiery impetus belonging to a work which the composer had written in less than a week. While Furtwängler was more at home in concert than the studio, he knew and appreciated the value of recordings, and cultivated good relationships with broadcast engineers in Berlin. The Decca team found him harder to deal with, but the Brahms Second from Kingsway Hall remains a characteristic example of his art, more muted than his other readings but flowing and lyrical throughout. The Franck, meanwhile, is even more marked by inspirational rubato, a quality now appreciated once again in performances of late-Romantic music. With a new essay by Rob Cowan on the context and qualities of these superb interpretations, this new Eloquence set is a definitive collection of Furtwängler’s Decca legacy.
