Whose Brahms – Haitink or Fischer?
NewsI have been glutted with two recorded boxes of Brahms symphonies.
One, by Bernard Haitink and the London Symphony Orchestra, is taken from concerts that I mostly attended in 2003-04. Yet both the recorded sound and the atmosphere seem altered (that’s editing for you).
The other is by Adam Fischer and the Danish Chamber Orchestra – yes, a chamber orchestra plays Brahms symphonies.
I have until Friday to decide which I prefer.
Such a privilege. Such joy.
