There have been many recordings of the Brahms’ symphonies but few have the passion, vitality and drive of István Kertész’s Vienna Philharmonic cycle. This collection brings together all of Kertész’s Brahms recordings for Decca. His Wiener Philharmoniker Brahms cycle began in May 1964 with a recording of the Second Symphony and continued in 1972-73 with the remaining symphonies and the Variations on a theme of Haydn. Recording of the Variations commenced on March 1, 1972 and upon Kertész’s passing (April 16, 1973), the orchestra completed the recording on May 14, 1973, conductor-less, in his memory.
