Brahms and Busch
RAHMS’S Second Symphony was played from 4YC on November 27, but it was the second symphony with all the ‘difference that Fritz Busch and the Danish "State Radio Symphony Orchestra make. This recording is without doubt the finest and, one feels, the closest to the composer’s intention, The first movement-allegro non troppowhich is performed with tender attenuation by other orchestras, is here given with the briskness the musical direction suggests: so much so, in fact, that only three sides are needed to record a movement that under other batons takes four. An occasional slight harshness in string tone is the only blemish on an almost perfect performance.
