Synopsis

Amazon.com
Do not buy this CD--not because it isn't one of the better versions of this symphony available. It is. DG has released this same performance again in remastered sound at mid-price as part of its "originals" series. The catalog number is 289 457 706-2. Naturally they should have deleted this older version when they rereleased the new one, and they probably will at some point. Until they do, it's caveat emptor--let the buyer beware! --David Hurwitz

"Mr. Hurwitz (the previous message) is absolutely correct. The remastered version is noticably better...a wonderful thing considering that this may be the finest Brahms 4th every recorded. LK"
Re-mastered sounds are not always improved

"Have you compared the sounds between previous and re-mastered,

such as OIBP (DG), art (EMI), CEDAR, etc.?

Did you feel better?

I have not feel better. Because re-mastered process always deletes atmosphere with white noise, audience noise.

As a result, re-mastered sounds loose naturality.

There are many pairates labels around the world.

Pirates labels don't do noise shaping and as a result, there are

concert hall atmosphere remaining.

This is the one of the reason why there are so many pairates labels.

I strongly recommend that if you find previous, non re-mastered version CD, you shall buy!!!!!!!!
