This work reveals Brahms' very sophisticated knowledge of tonality. Except for Dvorak, he doesn't seem to have had worthy successors. Instead, Wagner, Mahler, and Schoenberg took another direction. But perhaps Strauss and Rachmaninoff are the true successors of Brahms.
Beautiful!

Oh how I love this. I read Brahmas said it took him 20 years to write his first symphony he felt like Beethoven was looking over his shoulder
Magnifique !!!
Brahma's 1st symphony second movement is my favorite. I love it.
This is epic!

Tempo is much too fast. Why the big rush?
Tempo is in the eye of the beholder. To me the tempo seemed just right and not rushed at all.
Why does every performance have to have the exact same interpretation? At that point everyone may as well just listen to a recording
