Johannes Brahms

3. Un poco Allegretto e grazioso (24:14)
4. Adagio; Piu Andante; Allegro non troppo, ma non brio (28:39)

Willem Mengelberg, conductor
The Concertgebouw Orchestra

Recorded Live on October 13, 1940
at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam

Willem Mengelberg's approach to Brahms is unique, and quite interesting. He leaves no studio recording of the work, but his live performances from 1940 and 1943 remain. Since the Concertgebouw is such a high quality orchestra, most live performances are nearly as tight as an edited studio performance.

The present recording has condition issues, including both surface wear and modulation. These have been addressed for this edition, but cannot be corrected completely.
