I am thrilled with this performance! The orchestra is magnificent and the conductor grand! Brahms would have been most happy that his Love conveyed through the musical score was so gloriously performed.
If you carefully observe the facial expressions and bodily movement of the orchestra you will see they are responding, in concert, to the conductor's preperatory rehearsal technique. They are "with" him and abiding to his spiritual interplay to Maestro Brahm's magnificent symphony as he feels it.. Let us all be thankful for our ability to view and listen to great music which we'd never have had access to had it not been for YouTube. I feel so blessed!
Brahms is my most favorite composer. I truly appreciate YouTube and their contribution to music lovers worldwide by presenting conductors, orchestras, ensembles and soloists to those of us accessing these magnificent performances free of charge! It is one thing to criticize and another to condemn. Love Bernstein, Gershwin, Prokiev, Debussy, Ravel, et al....most importantly, love your ability to access your favorites via the internet and YouTube!
I, one time, clicked on "dislike" by accident, and, every time since have been very careful choosing "like" instead of "dislike". When one condemns the performance due to your dislike of the facial animations of the conductor instead of the magnificence of the orchestral performance must consider the "why" of your viewing this particular orchestra and conductor. Love this performance or not the histrionics of the conductor's expressions vary not. Listen and Love or go elsewhere for your music.
Is it just my imagination or does that second theme (2:23) sound like this composer's famous Lullabye? Maybe the two compositions were running concurrently in his head--this happens in the mysterious world of composing.
A wonderfully impressive performance! The Conductor and the orchestra fulfilled Brahm's desire for clarity and perfection to his score. How magnificent for the viewers/listeners to be able in this 21st century to, in the comfort of their homes, relax and appreciate a grand concert. Bravo to all!

beautiful performance, but did anybody else find the conductors facial expressions and hair exceedingly distracting

@20062013 It is amazing the sound that can be made by rubbing horses' hair over a cat's gut.I salute Johannes for this masterpiece.

Although I prefer Brahms with a full orchestra, this is nevertheless a very fine performance
