Can anyone help me understand why I find this music so utterly 'directionless'?
It is a digital recording from 1981 by DG (Stereo 2532 003)
I experience this Brahms recording in particular, as 'going nowhere' , directionless, as if put together by some endless number of bits and pieces not intrinsically connected. Like some overloaded pizza, or a meal with too many spices being used.
There are LOTS of my classic recordings that do not make me feel in this way at all. It is somehow to do with Brahms' symphonic work style. I wish I could get past this block (if it is one...).
