ALTSAS140] "Listening to this performance of the Celli was an eye-opener. The precise and supple sound, cultivated through rigorous rehearsals, is absolutely delightful. It was a surprise to hear such richness of flavor. I felt as if I had never heard such a colorful orchestration before." (From the liner notes by Naoya Hirabayashi) [ALTSA141] This is the SACD release of a performance that even the Munich Philharmonic acknowledged as "the best Brahms performance I ever had with Celibidacke" and that his son Ioan said he wanted to include this performance in the complete Brahms cycle on EMI. The "Death and Transfiguration" is also beautiful.ALTSA183] Stunned by the coda that seems to climb the sky! The famous performance that made the monster timpanist Peter Zadlo's abilities known throughout Japan is finally available on SACD single layer! The sound quality of the recording is excellent, and the SACD format allows for a delicate rendering of the weakest notes. The Celibidacke and Munich Philharmonic sounded beautiful in the richly reverberant Suntory Hall. The brightness and appropriate glossiness were impressive. This can also be heard in this recording.
