"Marin Alsop’s Brahms series continues with an elegiac account of the Third. There’s nothing hysterical here; instead Alsop opts for a certain restrained sadness that permeates every bar. Dignified, never dull, here is an excellent recording at Naxos’s usual great price. For a budget label that never pretended to be artist-led, they are certainly attracting quite a few stars these days"
(Gramophone)
"Den alltmer ryktbara kvinnliga dirigenten är en lika god maestro som någon i samtidens toppgrupp"
(Sydsvenskan)
""...den här orkestern är särdeles kompetent, kontakten mellan dirigent och orkester förefaller förträfflig och ljudkvaliteten är utmärkt"
(Östgöta Correspondenten)
• The Third Symphony, one of Brahms’s most poetic and evocative works, was hailed by the critic Eduard Hanslick as “artistically the most perfect…equal to the best of Brahms’s works…a feast for the music-lover and musician”. Arguably the composer’s greatest symphony, it was first performed in December 1883 in Vienna and became an outstanding success.
• This is the third release in the major new Naxos cycle of the Brahms Symphonies featuring the internationally acclaimed London Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Marin Alsop. Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 are available on Naxos 8.557428 and 8.557429.
• The previous Brahms Symphonies have proved exceedingly popular with both consumers and critics alike: “This is a late-summer idyll of a performance, easily paced, nicely judged and warmly played. For first-time buyers it will provide unalloyed pleasure”. Gramophone on 8.557429: “Nonetheless, these are humane, affectionate performances from which browsers and bargain-minded first-time buyers should derive a good deal of pleasure”. Gramophone on 8.557428.
