There is something about this orchestra/conductor combination that I find magical. This is not just "an interpretation" of the fourth. It feels like they have actually channeled Brahms himself: The full range from tenderness to violence is not just left implied, it is EXPRESSED! (Sadly, one of the most magical moments in the history of western music is bungled @13:55. Oh well.)
I. Allegro non troppo (E minor) 0:05 II. Andante moderato (E major) 13:54 III. Allegro giocoso (C major) 25:07 IV. Allegro energico e passionato (E minor) 31:02
