In my search for my own sound of Schubert 9 (BTW I did found what I was looking for) I was listening the Mengleberg’s play from 30. The record I have in a part of a 4 records album dedicated to 80 anniversary of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. I did not practically was pleased with Mengleberg and then I discover that the album has Brahms Symphony No. 4 by Eduard van Beinum. I couldn’t recall that I heard this 1958 concert and I decided to listen it. That turned out to be truly supernatural Brahms.
The Beinum sucks in instantly and what is spectacular that he never lose you. The whole 4 movements, from the first bar to the last it is continue pressure building. The Concertgebouw is truly insane in there and I so much enjoyed it that I listed it twice right from the start to the end. To insult the injury it has absolutely stunning sound. Nope it you look for high-end audio style sound with distinct and separated instrument and section then it will be not it. It has my kind of type of sound when orchestra sound like a large could and you can’t sense if it mono, stereo, recording, live and at complete lost what is going on. You just sit in your chair and do not give shit about anything besides the swimming across the waves of Concertgebouw pressure, Brahms metaphors and Beinum expressions. Here is where the true high-end begins…
