Synopsis

Amazon.com
The First Serenade is a lovely work--sunny and fresh sounding--but Michael Tilson Thomas has not quite solved all of its interpretive problems. Perhaps this is due to the unpleasant digital recording, which manages to make the orchestra sound both glaring and thick at the same time. There are many excellent performances of this piece (István Kertész, Sir Adrian Boult, Yoel Levi), so you're not missing anything if you pass on this one. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Strangely tired, affectless Brahms
Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 09/21/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I am a geat lover of both Brahms serenades, so pickedup the Tilson Thomas recordings of both with great anticipaiton. All I can say is that he has surprisingly little feeling for Brahms, and both CDs went to the bottom of my list. Tempos lack any kind of joy or brio, and overall there is a sense that opportunities for pointed accents and luyrical flights are being missed right and left."
