Brahms Symphony No. 3 - Bruno Walter conducts The Columbia Symphony Orchestra

Un best off

Interpretation lente et passionnée d’un grand chef romantique.

Walter's Brahms 3

This is one of the great recordings of Brahms 3rd, and it certainly sounds more vivid than ever in this format. That is a double-edged sword, alas, for while the sound has the typical wide sound stage and impact that one expects with recordings on this site, in this case the upper strings are strident and lacerating unless the treble is considerably tamed.

Walter with the CSO, can’t be bad of couse. A captivating Brahms n°3, with a very good transfer from what had to be a well preserved tape. A treat
