Description: Jochum/BPO: Brahms 4 Symphonies (rec. 1951-6) - DG LPM 18451/54 (4LP box set) Brahms: Music Symphony 1-4 Conductor: Eugen Jochum Orchestra: Berliner Philharmoniker Label: Deutsche Grammophon Record#: LPM 18451/54 The second record is in VG condition and the other records are in NM condition. The box is in VG+ condition. This beautiful and quite rare 4LP cloth box set from Deutsche Grammophon (LPM 18451/54, German pressings, AH large tulip labels, mono – no stereo editions exists, large full-size 34-page booklet included) features Eugen Jochum and the Berlin Philharmonic's glowing cycle of the complete Brahms Symphonies, taped in the rich acoustics of Jesus-Christus-Kirche, Berlin-Dahiem, one of the truly great traversals on record. Wrote the eminent critic Robert Layton in the February 1997 issue of The Gramophone:"Of the two cycles conducted by Eugen Jochum I rather prefer the two-CD set with the Berlin Philharmonic dating from the 1950s, as did he, for although it is obviously not as well recorded as the LPO set made in the 1970s, the performances have a glowing radiance that transcends their sonic limitations, which as RC [Rob Cowan] indicated, are surprisingly few." A note on this particular pressing: DGG pulled out all the stops for this cycle, issuing it in a heavy cloth box. Even more impressive is the full-size, 34-page booklet with a biography of Brahms by Hortensia Weiher-Waege, a discussion of his 4 Symphonies by Klaus Wagner, an appreciation of Jochum's artistry, and several full-page portraits of composer and conductor. The striking cover design was executed by Frau Maria Fellinger.
