Brahms Symphony 4 - Victor De Sabata - Fourth Movement

[FullmuurishAlchemist]

I'm starting my comment before this clip ends. This rendition was not to my liking.I can hear the high skill of the musicians being rushed and forced to submit to the misguidance of the conductor. I've heard this played beautifully emotional, but this clip just sounds like the mind of a skitso.

For me

Now this is what I would use speakers for. And turn the volume up loud I pretend that I'm conducting this piece. Love it so much.

If you find the one conducted by George Szell that's the piece I prefer the most but this one will have to do for now.

@corvettegirl88 And here I thought I was the only one dorky enough to do that!

yay thank you.

I don't like this recording though. eww

I got a CD in the library, and the sound quality is 1000x better. :P

Is this Fourth Symphony by Brahms? I can't find the flute solo.. Someone help me :) Need to listen to it for my audition. thanks

It starts at 3.04. Then, in variation 13, you will find some lines of woods ending with a short passage for flute at 4.02.

This is the typical variations form in a symphony, that is, moving around the first theme.

Ok.

Don't forget that this orchestra played the work so often with Furtwangler... Also, I don't get why he slows down so much for the final variation, but a great performance nonetheless.

Extraordinary, possibly even better than the Carlos Kleiber. de Sabata lives up to his fabulous reputation. Robert Layton of the Gramophone, always seemed to refer to his performances from the 1950's as some kind of benchmark of excellence, understandably - he really was musician of great insight, integrity and humanity.
