5 out of 5 stars This is TRUE chamber music.......2005-10-18

These CD's contain some of the best chamber music ever recorded.
Each member of the ensemble seems to fit in without ever dominating.

If you want to hear how chamber music should be played - get these discs!

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous music, great performance.......2003-05-13

This is one of my favorite CD's. Excellent musicianship and sound quality are a bonus. The real draw to this cd, however, is the passionate interpretation the music. They really capture the emotion behind Brahms' music. I would recommend this to anyone who likes chamber music.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Recording, Excellent Deal.......2000-04-19

This album is by far the most crisply recorded, lusciously played, and reasonably priced of all recordings of Brahms' chamber music. There is a 2-CD version with just the quartets for marginally less, but this is the one to get. There's plenty written about the recent Ma, Stern, Laredo, Ax effort (hard not to, considering that cast), which won Gramophone Magazine's best chamber album of the year. The trios are of equally fine quality (Stern is just as luminous in this much earlier performance), in rich, dark analogue sound, and make a superb offer in and of themselves. When coupled with the quartets for roughly the same price. . .? You really can't go wrong. A must buy.

3 out of 5 stars The "Clinker" of the bunch.......2006-12-19

Having collected the entire "The Masterworks" series (including the Bach and Mozart Complete Works) this set is the 'clinker' of the bunch. First off... 6 CD's of Lieder 'historic' (pre-historic) recordings. No Overtures, No Orchestral Seranades, No Haydn Variations?? The performances of the Symphonies and the Concertos are shakey and not very well recorded. Brilliant Classics, who has done such a wonderful job with the Hadyn Complete Symphonies (licensed from Nimbus), the Mozart and Bach Complete sets, has stumbled a bit with this release.

      5 out of 5 stars Expressive and intelligent playing.......2006-08-16

      Eliot Fisk plays beautifully on this recording. The choice of material is very interesting and refreshing and the interpretations are lively and intelligent as well as very romantic and beautiful. Fisk plays very appropriately for the music he selects, much of which falls solidly in the early 20th Century Segovia style. The Segovia arrangements of folk songs are not particularly challenging listening, but they are very enjoyable and often charming. The rest of the music provides a great introduction to some of the core Segovia repertoire that is not as well known today as, for instance, Sor, Giuliani, Tarrega, or Villa Lobos. In summation, the tone, technique, interpration, and musicality of these performances are all at an equally superlative level. The only drawback may be the odd occasional clicks in the recordings which do not necessarily correspond with any notes, and therefore are clearly a minor flaw in the recording rather than a fingernail or technique-related issue. This album is most definitely a worthwhile purchase.

      4 out of 5 stars wonderful CD!.......2002-12-05

      This is a wonderful CD! @ a very nice price too! I must say that the recording could have been done better (hence, the 4 stars and the nice price.) But if you play classical guitar, then it will be a treat to hear this CD. Segovia was a genius when it came to composing for his beloved instrument and Fisk did a great job playing the material. I wish that the great recording guitarist like Fisk would treat us to more less-popular works such as the ones on this CD.

      Brahms was, first and foremost, a composer of chamber music. While there are only about a dozen orchestral works in all, he composed three each of piano trios, piano quartets, string quartets, and violin sonatas; two each of cello sonatas, string quintets, and string sextets; and a host of other pieces such as the clarinet quintet, horn trio, and piano quintet. All of this lovely, romantic music has been gathered into this attractively priced box. Performances are generally expert, and the music itself will give enormous pleasure to listeners who generally think of the composer only in terms of his symphonies and concertos. --David Hurwitz

      4 out of 5 stars Just Wonderfull.......2001-08-04

      Just compare the price with the quality. Obviously it is not the best recording like does of Deutsche Gramophon or Sony, but it includes exceptional performances fron Quarteto Italiano and the rest of the interpreters. Don't belive what John C. Bostron wrote about quality. For only 70 dollars you have the complete chamber music of one of the greatests composers ever. Buy it, its a wonderfull experience for a very cheep price. If you don't like some recordings you can get other records to have a best sound performance. But for beginers ist just wonderful.

      this is a great cd box set. the sound quality is excellent, and the chamber music of Brahms can't be beat. it's sheer perfection and melodic bliss. the only reason i don't think it deserves five stars is that the performances of the string quartets are pretty shabby. buy those somewhere else. but buy this philips set first.

      2 out of 5 stars Kinda Close, but no Cigar.......2000-04-28

      For the money spent, I think this collection of recordings is less than inspiring. The Horn Trio is weak, and Quartetto Italiano's recordings of Op.51 are not only poor in tone, but also filled with recording noise. The overall colorless nature of the recordings makes such an investment questionable at best.

      5 out of 5 stars An Extraordinary User-Friendly Multimedia Dvorák Biography.......2004-04-28

      I have followed with interest the series of CDs explaining popular operas by Jeremy Siepmann, an American musicologist long resident in Britain. Each of those is a single CD with a spoken text interspersed with longish excerpts from the opera in question. This 4-CD set, though, is something else again. It is a combination of music/audio CDs with superimposed CD-ROM material (on the same discs). One plays the audio portion on your regular stereo equipment. When put in your PC or Mac CD drive, the CD-ROM portion of the discs brings up an extensive set of hyperlinked text materials as well as links to the CDs from which the musical examples are taken (all from the Naxos music recordings library, of course). Also included in the CD-ROM material is the full text of Siepmann's detailed biography of Dvorák. There is also a thick booklet that includes cast lists (various actors playing various important people in Dvorák's life), an extensive essay about the sociopolitical and cultural conditions extant during Dvorák's life, an longish essay about his major works and their significance, a graded listening plan, an article outlining recommended reading, biographical snippets about each of the important people in Dvorák's life, a chronological calendar of Dvorák's life, and an extensive glossary of musical and other pertinent terms.

      Siepmann's four-and-a-half-hour exploration of Dvorák's life and works is in his wonted polished, often witty, prose. It is read gracefully by Siepmann himself. Dvorák is played by the suave-voiced British actor, Sean Barrett. The musical examples are extensive, often including complete movements, arias, etc., and are placed expertly within the flow of the text. Production values for this budget-priced set are quite high.

      I will admit that I had a particular interest in this production as I grew up in a rural Oklahoma town settled by Bohemians (Czechs) and came to love some of Dvorák's music before even that of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. I've already recommended this set to the public schools and town library in my hometown.

      I am not quite sure who the intended audience for this set is. Presumably there are those, like me, who are insatiable when it comes to increasing their knowledge of classical music, its composers and their sociocultural milieu. One also imagines that even in these days of decreasing support for music and music appreciation courses in our schools, there are teachers who could make wonderful use of this material for their students. Whoever the audience is, I cannot imagine a listener coming away from this set without a great deal more information and appreciation for the genius of Antonin Dvorák.

      2 out of 5 stars NOT for relaxation.......2006-05-21

      Save your money if you buy this CD simply for relaxation. There are a lot more choices better than this one. The music is slow, but they are not soothing and they are not attractive. The "For Relaxation" series is a large series. And I would say this series produce both good and bad quality CD. I would recommend you to try Bach for relaxation, Chopin for relaxation and guitar for relaxation. These three CDs are the best in the series. While apart from this CD, also DO NOT try Tchaikovsky for relaxation as this is also not a good one for relaxation. The music are sometimes too sad.

      When I first noticed this bright red CD in the record store, the image struck me at first as rather odd looking. At the time I didn't know exactly what I was responding to; but thinking back now about what it was that I noticed, I would have to say that it was the name "Brahms" in hot white neon letters with the word relaxation directly under it. This had seemed like a contradiction in terms to me; so I passed up buying this CD on several occasions; thinking that it may not have been very well produced. In addition to that, I had already bought "Brahms for Book Lovers" and felt completely satisfied with the purchase, I saw no reason to have another "relaxation" CD dedicated to Brahms music. What changed my mind was noticing that with the exception of the Romanze from the String Quartet in C minor, the pieces on this collection do not overlap with the "Brahms for Book Lovers" collection. I then purchased it with the hope of having it be a companion to the "Book Lovers" CD that I already owned. As it turns out, this actually is a wonderful collection of Brahms music. It fulfills the idea of "Relaxation" quite well. The recordings and the playing are top notch. The C minor Quartet piece on track 10 sounds slightly strained in comparison to the one performed on the "Book Lovers" compilation; but this is only a minor point. Sir Colin Davis conducts the Bavarian Radio Symphony in a broad flowing Variation VII of the Haydn Variations Op. 56a. I have never heard this variation played so expansively. Gerhard Oppitz performs a sensitive interpretation of the B Minor Intermezzo that is clear and resonant. There is a lyrical beauty that pervades the Andante from the C Minor quartet; which is played so lovingly by the Boston Chamber players. I could go on but I think you get the idea. If you already have the "Book Lovers" CD then get this as a companion to it. If you have neither then you are in for a real treat. This is a well-produced bargain CD that every Brahms lover should own. Also, If you are looking for a general introduction to Brahms, this would be a great way to start-wonderful music!
