the auditorium privileged to hear of the finest
readings Of the Brahms First Symphony they can ever
hope to hear.
Director Karl Kruger and Of the orchestra played
though they inspired. So transparent was the
of the music they delivered that it was as though
all haowed hall in the very presence of the
great Brahms himself
This may sound like very extravagant praise. but 1t is

though, theirs is one of the most

the same par.
While there nothing exactly
