The recording features Brahms' Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73. The performers are Karl Böhm conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Recorded on December 17, 1956, at the Jesus-Christus-Kirche in Berlin. A masterpiece that needs no introduction. Famous as a recording that Hidekazu Yoshida praised wholeheartedly. The performance, imbued with the sound of the Furtwängler era but far more controlled, has an absolute charm not found in the later re-recording with the Vienna Philharmonic. Despite the excellent recording and performance, the release didn't sell well due to many competing records at the time, and the number of copies is surprisingly small. Gigantically rare record.
