Default Harnoncourt's Brahms
Recently I bought Nikolaus Harnoncourt,s recordings of Brahms' symphonies. These are completely breathtaking, marvellously played and conducted performances. Before hearing these my favorite cycle was Walter on Sony. Harnoncourt's performances of Nos. 2 & 4 are probably the best I have ever heard. Highly recommended.

You're welcome Jaime . I have the mentioned recording of the fourth with Kleiber. It is really powerful.

Two words: Bernard Haitink

I already know I don't much like Harnoncourt's 3rd, but I'll give the 2nd and 4th another listen..

Please do. Personally I was impressed. Of course, tastes differ.
