Rating: 5.0
WELL WORTH OWNING
Really about a 4.7, but definitely closer to 5 than 4. Orchestra was very good although not a rival to Berlin. Photography was extremely crisp. My biggest gripe is that on several occasions during Beethoven's Emperor Piano Concerto the camera cut away from the pianist just as he was reaching a crescendo. Otherwise, direction and camera work were fine. I really couldn't list any flaws in the performance of Brahms' Symphony #3.In addition to the DVD-video, there is also an hour + of DVD-audio performances of Brahms Piano Concerto and waltzes.All together, a good value given the total amount of music and worth a spot in your collection.
