highly recommended

I can only talk about my sensations when I have the chance of listening to this music; I can't give you a reviewer point of view but, all in all, most of you are looking for peace and happiness when you attend to a concert or make your hi-fi set play.

I wish you to enjoy it, like I do.

Greetings.

Magical

Having become familiar with this recording as a child due to my late father's interest in great choral music, it has been a favorite of mine from when I was ten until I entered adult life. But only after sampling numerous other interpretations did I realize just how magical Otto Klemperer's recording is. There exists no finer interpretation of this Brahms masterpiece than this one. Soloists Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Elizabeth Schwarzkopf were the premier vocalists of this time and this is among their very finest performances. One can criticize the 1960's recording technology, but its minor flaws are easily ignored once the mastery of the performance is recognized. One can try to dissect and analyze each element of it to understand why it so great... but that would be missing the point. There is an profound spiritual quality to this performance, one that in my opinion has never been surpassed. To experience it is simple.... bring this wonderful recording into your life... set aside an evening... turn out the lights... quiet your mind... press play and open your soul to an unforgettable experience. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

An extraordinary recording

Certainly there have been a number of good recordings of this work over the decades but most of them have been about the monumental power of the music. In addressing this other conductors have been too forced, too fast, too loud. There is simply no second place to the subtlety, simplicity and emotional impact the conductor brings to this version. He is enormously aided by two renowned singers who do not let us down.
The sound is as good as can be expected from a recording of this time, but if total clarity and brilliant sound is truly important to you then this is not your recording. If it is about music, then this is as good as it gets.
