	Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 - Carlos Kleiber / Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra : Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		American critic B. Haggin was scathing in his dislike for most of Brahms´ output, calling it "labored and bombastic proclamations, with stretches of arid manipulation." And, rather oddly, Carlos Kleiber´s own conductor father, the great Erich Kleiber, disliked the Brahms symphonies and refused to perform them.
		Brahms disliked the strict, under-nuanced conducting of Richter, and preferred the "basic musical values" of the free, mercurial, highly nuanced style of Bulow, even though he had some reservations about certain mannerisms.
		Brahms also favored the mellow warmth of Fritz Steinbach (by sheer coincidence, that conductor´s great niece Gretchen Steinbach was my piano teacher for 9 years).

		Born in Hamburg, the son of a double-bass player and his older seamstress wife, Brahms attracted the attention of Schumann, to whom he was introduced by the violinist Joachim, and after Schumann's death he maintained a long friendship with his widow, the pianist Clara Schumann, whose advice he always valued.
		Brahms eventually settled in Vienna, where to some he seemed the awaited successor to Beethoven.
		Brahms showed a particular talent for the composition of variations, and this is aptly demonstrated in the famous Variations on a Theme of Handel, Op.

		Johannes Brahms was a tremendously insecure man who constantly worried that he was not worthy of the musical tradition set by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven and wondered whether he was losing his abilities.
		One of the most unfortunate effects of his lack of confidence was embodied in a reluctance to attempt a symphony for fear of being compared unfavorably to those masters, waiting until he was 43 years old to complete his First.
		Brahms based the movement on a simple passage from Bach's Cantata No. 150 and produced no less than 34 different interpretations of the melody.

	Haitink's Brahms symphony fulfills audience expectations
		Haitink led the BSO's recorded performance of Brahms' Symphony No. 4, which was a roaring success despite the oppressive ticket prices and a few technical errors, including tempo difficulties in the passacaglia and overbearing horns in the allegro non troppo.
		Brahms loved the older forms and so the use of the passacaglia or chaconne, thematic variations over a figured bass, in his symphony is really not surprising.
		As the centerpiece of the symphony, the finale demands pensive attention because of its sprawling breadth; simply put, it is the voice of Brahms whispering melodic romance.

		The French horns in Variation III (a tribute perhaps to Brahms’ father, who was a professional horn player) add their own wry, sagely but witheringly funny advice, for which the swollen sound of the Philharmonia brass is a perfect voice.
		Symphony, recorded with the Chicago Symphony almost a decade after the other works on this disc.
		The unbridled joy that exudes here is definitely of Beethovenian stride, the strength and power the closest Brahms came in his later years to that composer’s music, and Giulini lays clearer than most this kinship of creative spirits.

		He conducted other Vaughan Williams symphonies, recording the Sixth in 1949 with the New York Philharmonic (briefly available on Sony Classical SMK 58933, paired with Symphony No. 4 and the Tallis Fantasia conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos).
		The Symphony was strongly influenced by the war, reflecting the composer's tense and troubled state of mind at the time as he reacted to the horrors of news of the day (which, as a newspaper war analist, he knew well), with the fourth and final movement representing victory.
		Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 4 is given a vivid performance with considerable portamento.

		We often think of Brahms as a composer of symphonies, but in fact, he had passed the age of forty before he completed a single such work.
		During Brahms' lifetime, anyone who tried to write a symphony would inevitably be compared with Beethoven, and Brahms wanted to ensure that he was quite ready to face that sort of criticism.
		The last of his symphonies was begun in the summer of 1884 while the composer was vacationing in the Styrian town of Mürzzuschlag.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts \| Brahms: Symphony No.4
		Of all Brahms's orchestral works it is one in which the balance between structural control and expressiveness is most perfectly maintained, in which the form does not constrict the content but, on the contrary, liberates it.
		Among the historical, ie, pre-LP, versions, Arturo Toscanini's with the NBC Symphony (RCA) from the late 40s still stands out for its structural rigour, clean-limbed lyricism, and the electricity his conducting generates.
		All the heavyweights of the post-war era have something to say about Brahms 4 - Otto Klemperer with the Philharmonia (EMI) is typically sure-footed with its structure, and grittily direct with its lyricism too; Herbert Von Karajan (Deutsche Grammophon) is lithe, beautifully moulded, and, just in the final analysis, lacking in definition.

		Playing to a capacity house, the BBC Philharmonic under Vassily Sinaisky delivered a gut-wrenching performance of Shostakovich's Fourth Symphony, one that sprung fireworks during the first movement and laced power and bleakness during the Mahlerian finale.
		It is not difficult to see why the Fourth was shelved in 1936 and had to wait until 1961 for its premiere.
		The finale recalled the Mahler of the First Symphony more clearly than I have previously encountered, and the final climax teetered on the brink of inexorability.
