Description:

[Classical Masters No. 9] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters at Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. The slow tempo and expression of this performance deeply depicts the shades of Brahms. The Barbirolli style is truly unique and distinct from modern performances. The "Variations on a Theme by Haydn" is also a masterful performance full of maturity.
