Philippe Jordan, whose set of the complete Beethoven symphonies with this same orchestra was the hot firecracker last year, here moves on to the symphonies of Brahms before leaving his post as director of the Wiener Philharmoniker (heretofore referred to simply as WP).

I was curious to hear how Jordan would approach Brahms since he was the exact opposite sort of a composer from Beethoven. Whereas Beethoven often jotted down his music in the white heat of inspiration—though often revising certain passages later when he realized that they either weren’t very good or wouldn’t work—Brahms was the meticulous worker. Very little he wrote arose from inspiration; most of the time every note, every inflection, even the inner voicings and countermelodies, were the result of long hours of hard work, trying to find the exact notes and phrases he wanted to commit to paper. Yet although he was the tortoise to Beethoven’s hare, he ended up almost as revered as a composer, in part because his music was so perfectly written.
