Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 98
Do not buy this CD--not because it isn't one of the better versions of this symphony available. It is. DG has released this same performance again in remastered sound at mid-price as part of its "originals" series. The catalog number is 289 457 706-2. Naturally they should have deleted this older version when they rereleased the new one, and they probably will at some point. Until they do, it's caveat emptor--let the buyer beware! --David Hurwitz
