Description:

Jun Merkur Kicks Off His Brahms Symphony Cycle!Such dignity and passion! The great Brahmsnow more German than ever.This is a Brahms performance that invites you to listen deeply; its full of passion and thoroughly rewarding. Its a performance of Brahmss Symphony No. 4 that truly fills the heart. Furthermore, Merkur has succeeded Luigi as chief conductor of the MDR Symphony Orchestra. This orchestra, which is renowned even in Berlin for being at its highest level ever, was formed in 1991 through the merger of the Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Leipzig Radio Philharmonic. The recording is also excellent, with a mellow tone that suits Brahms perfectly. This is undoubtedly a disc youll want to listen to again and again. [Comment provided by King International]—
