Free Music Review: Among the Best Recordings of the Brahms 2nd and 3rd Symphonies I've Heard
Hit: 5 Stars

Marek Janowski's recent Pentatone recording of the Brahms 2nd and 3rd symphonies with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra may be the best I've ever heard with an American orchestra. It is definitely among the finest recent ones I am familiar with, comparing favorable with those from Marin Alsop and the London Philharmonic Orchestra and, especially, Bernard Haitink and the London Symphony Orchestra. Janowski's rich interpretations of both symphonies, especially the 2nd Symphony, is richly dark chocolate - to quote from a previous reviewer's observation - in tone. Surprisingly, I found his interpretation of the 2nd Symphony slightly more rewarding than Haitink's - whose recent 2nd Symphony recording I regard as the one to be measured against others - especially in his handling of the brooding, haunting qualities of the first movement. In both symphonies Janowski excels in obtaining exceptional solo work from the winds and strings; overall the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's playing in both symphonies is as splendid as any I have heard from Europe's great orchestras, with perhaps, the notable exceptions of Karajan's and Abbado's Berliner Philharmoniker and the Wiener Philharmoniker under the batons of Bohm and Bernstein. Without question, I highly recommend this recording as a primary recommendation for either of Brahms' symphonies, to be collected along with Haitink's quite commendable LSO Live cycle from earlier this decade.
