Two symphonies from Gunter Wand"s Brahms Cycle for RCA with the NDR Symphony Orchestra (Cologne). Multichannel
Only! This is part of a run of SACDs produced by BMG for distribution to club members in Germany, but never
publicly sold. If you own any discs in this series, speak up!
Note that the folder/file name in the torrent says Bohm, I"d advise fixing that upon downloading.
All of the Edition 100 SACDs contain the following note - there is essentially nothing else of note in the
packaging:
Das Super-Audio-CD-Format wurde entwickelt, um bestmögliche Klang-Qualität zu bieten. Das Ergebnis: Das beste
derzeit technisch machbare Audio-Format. Es ermöglicht, Musik mit höchster Klangtreue wiederzugeben. Unter
Verwendung eines Mehrkanal-Wiedergabegerätes erleben Sie sogar den Raumeindruck eines Konzertsaales in den
eigenen vier Wänden. Das Klangerlebnis wird so zum vollendeten Hörgenuss.
Diese Edition 100-Hybrid Disc erlaubt eine Wiedergabe in allen herkömmlichen CD-Playern.
Review of the RBCD Cycle from Amazon
I rarely stop looking for perfect performances and have an unhealthy habit of doubling and quintupling up works
that I already own. Rarely does a performance come by that is so outstanding, so immediately satisfying all my
desires, that I stop looking for new or even different recordings of the works in question. Maurizio Pollini"s
rendition of the late Beethoven sonatas is one such performance (although it hasn"t kept me from amassing some
20-plus versions of each of those sonatas), G.Wand"s Brahms is another.
Incredibly musical, these four recordings (in great sound, now that they are remastered) exude a vitality that is
beyond words. G.Wand is the ego-less conductor who disappears in the music making, leaving only Brahms and the
listener. The result is a most thankful one, indeed. I am not suggesting you throw away your Abbado, Karajan,
Walter and Bohm (the rest can probably go, though) - but these are the performances I always turn to, the ones
that never disappoint me, no matter what mood I am in. That"s more than I can say about most recordings.
This may sound like hyperbole - but except for the handful of people I know who don"t rank this set atop their
Brahms collections all others would agree that it isn"t
