    This was possibly the worse recording of Brahms I’ve ever heard. Where’s the rest of the strings?! I shouldn’t even have to mention the lack of winds, brass, and percussion! I know the economy’s bad, but wow.

    Ha! Maybe orchestras will start putting out recordings of just the bass line…

    I could not access the video. It said it was a private video and I had to accept a friend request. Maybe I can access it directly on YouTube.

    Strange–sorry about that.
