Brahms First Symphony, Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, DGG 1963. This is available in CD and vinyl, with the CD transferred from the original '64 analog mastertapes, I believe. The sonic quality of this redbook CD is among the best, and the performance is wonderfully grand and autumnal. Von Karajan at his best. After all the major and minor inticacies of Brahms' orchestral palette have been expressed, when the melody of the 4th movement finally arrives, it is majestic and sweeping.
Album which you have listened to most?
We all have favourites and we all keep going back to them every now and then. Some maybe permanently lying next to our systems and have been for years.
Is there an album or two or three at the most which gets most of your attention and is played on your system most often? Not necessarily the best sounding but the one which you are emotionally attached to.
I thought I would ask for a single album but to make it easier for all you may name three of them.
If you have have had the album for more than five years, it qualifies for inclusion here.
The reason I decided to post this message is because I am interested in buying something interesting and if there are only ten people responding it means 30 albums for me to be on the lookout for.
Thanks a lot for your input (if you have read this far I know you will post your three albums also) :-)
