Info for Brahms: Variations on a Theme by Haydn & Symphony No. 1

A live recording from the Heinz Hall, Pittsburgh, March 2007.

"Well, rather than mincing my words and having to hold you in suspense while you read the entire paragraph, I’ll cut to the chase and tell you that this has become not only my favourite performance of the Haydn Variations, but I’m having a hard time thinking about any other performance of the Brahms 1st beyond this new Janowski recording.” (Richard Foster, HiFi+magazine)

“PentaTone’s reviting “you”-are-there” recording makes it a winner…If you are looking for a new, uncontroversial, and trustworthy reading of Brahms’s First Symphony in fantastic sound, I can recommend Janowski and Pittsburgh to you with little hesitation.” (Jeery Dubins, Fanfare)
