Brahms: Hungarian Dances
Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Kurt Masur
[ Australian SBS Decca Eloquence / CD ]
Release Date: Sunday 10 July 2005
"Masur having the full measure of the character of these dances. The orchestra has no shortcomings whatsoever in their execution." (MusicWeb June 2005)
"these recordings are early digital material and there is no background noise at all... The acoustic is clear and warm and this serves to enhance these performances by an orchestra and conductor who have this music in their bones... Very highly recommended" (MusicWeb)
These warm, vibrant recordings of the Brahms Hungarian Dances, in delicious arrangements by Brahms himself (three of them) and others (the remaining 18) was one of Philips' first releases on CD and at the time of release were praised by Gramophone as the recommended recording of these. Here they are, available once more at super-budget price.
