"Mark Obert-Thorn, the producer, mentions the difficulties presented by the Brahms. The results of his wrestlings sound as good as we may reasonably expect for the venerable age of the recording, but it is true that the Tchaikovsky sounds more than three years more recent. Curious, too, that in those three years the use of portamento by the LSO strings had diminished remarkably."
