The Critic's Chair for 15 December 2013
Dianne James looks at a recent release of the complete Brahms Symphonies, performed by the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Riccardo Chailly. Dianne was recently in Leipzig, and went to two concerts of Chailly conducting the Gewandhaus in performances of these Brahms symphonies. She shares her highlights from those concerts, gives an insightful review of the recording, and tells us why she's hoping to find this box-set in her Christmas stocking.
