This performance is highly appealing to those who appreciate the intellectual and structurally sound Brahms, but may feel somewhat lacking for those who strongly desire passion and emotional expression. C. Davis, in the first place, doesn't possess the flamboyance of Karajan or Bernstein, but has a strong impression of being a "sincere and logical master." In Japan, he is also respected as a "conductor who isn't flashy but can be listened to for a long time." Those seeking unique interpretations may find it lacking, but please give it a listen. Furthermore, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, one of the world's leading orchestras, is highly regarded worldwide for its precise and rich performances, and C. Davis's conducting, who was a good match as principal conductor alongside Jansons, fully brings out its charm.
