West Australian Symphony Orchestra / Asher Fisch
Brahms: The Symphonies (2CD)
Recorded live in concert in 2015, these performances from the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and its Principal Conductor bring to life the colour and complexity of Brahms` vision. Fisch - a protégé of Daniel Barenboim - is acclaimed as one of the great conductors of the Romantic repertoire of our times; from the lyrical second symphony to the epic fourth, this album is a testimony to his interpretative prowess, Brahms` music, and to a superlative orchestra recorded in its prime.
