| | News: Sir Charles Mackerras celebrates 50 years conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra! |
 | | Hearing Charles Mackerras' performance of Brahms' First Symphony with the Philharmonia Orchestra was a revelatory experience, in which all of the hackneyed preconceptions about a composer and a piece were turned on their heads. | | | Mackerras is conducting all four Brahms symphonies with the Philharmonia; if they continue like the First Symphony, they will be unmissable performances. | | | He gave the lie to the idea that Brahms orchestration is opaque and stodgy, making the orchestral textures lyrical and transparent whether in the radiant colours of the slow movement, with its seraphic solo violin line, or the dark visions in the opening of the finale. |

| | Sir Charles Mackerras - Biography |
| | Mackerras celebrated his seventieth birthday in 1995 with gala concerts with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Edinburgh, the Welsh National Opera in Cardiff and with the San Francisco Opera. | | | In 1997 Sony Classical released his recording of Le delizie dell'amor, featuring the soprano Andrea Rost. | | | Other projects for Sony Classical include recordings of Chopin's two piano concertos with Emanuel Ax -- the first will appear next year (SK 60771) and the second (SK 63371) has already been released. |

| | Mackerras' recordings of Handel and Mozart are well known; in the past several years, he has expanded his recorded repertoire to include Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler, and now Brahms. | | | Mackerras lets us see that while the grandeur of the symphonies is impressive, there is even more of the true Brahms--intimate, ardent, and soulful--right here in the serenades. | | | His traversal of the symphonies was provocative in part because he did it with a chamber-orchestra sized string complement, hoping to recapture the balance and sonic weight of an orchestra of Brahms's day, specifically the Meiningen Court Orchestra, which premiered the Fourth Symphony. |

| | Mackerras was a talented pasticheur, but recognised he would never be a composer. | | | Rattray, while believing that Mackerras was denied the plum positions because he was perceived by musical snobs as ubiquitous, thinks that ultimately his career was not harmed. | | | He worked in the 1940s and 50s with the Goldsborough Ensemble, which later became the English Chamber Orchestra, playing baroque music in the style of the period and stripping away the lushness that symphony orchestras steeped in romantic music had imposed. |

| | Brahms: The Symphonies/Charles Mackerras. Reviewed by Bernard D. Sherman |
| | Mackerras falls far short of Furtwängler, but his performance is similar in one respect: the tempo relationship of the dolce theme that arrives in the first violins in b. | | | Also, Mackerras may cause some musicians to reconsider the cliché of seeking profundity in Brahms through sheer weight and slowness. | | | An example is the mysterious timpani/trombone/wind passage that leads into that new violin theme in b. |

| | The recording was made by Parlophone but issued only by Decca in the USA. | | | This recording includes a suite from Pineapple Poll (eight of the eleven numbers), allowing room for a suite from the ballet The Lady and the Fool, also arranged by Mackerras, from music of Verdi. | | | Ironically, the Verdi material diminishes one's measure of Mackerras's achievement in Pineapple Poll, as the two pieces sound extremely similar, which suggests that Mackerras is not the master orchestrator many GandS fans have given him credit for. |

| | Charles Mackerras' marvelous recordings of Brahms' four symphonies with these same forces for Telarc find a logical successor in this delightful release of the two early serenades. | | | Mackerras and his players clearly delight in the catchy tunes and colorful scoring, and he leads performances that, while clearly "Romantic" in their freedom of tempo, are scaled to emphasize the music's classical antecedents. | | | Hearing these loosely constructed, generously tuneful pieces, we can only wonder at the effort Brahms must have made to curb his purely lyrical impulses and discipline his musical thought in such a way as to demonstrate his worthiness as symphonic heir to Beethoven. |
