Monteux had the then two best players & there is of course the 2 short movements to balance the longer 1st & similar to the complete concert which was our veteran conductor's last public concerto performance, all under TV lighting on 12th April 1964 .

Fine playing by Monteux' Boston Symphony for Brahms' musical thankyou on his honorary doctorate by Breslau University.

More recently than '60, this last Brahms symphony has been considered by many, including myself, to be one of the best, if not the best to be found on record in later years & here on UA-cam etc is a virtually complete example.

On this complete 50th anniversary concert in the Albert Hall, London papers wrote that Monteux revealed many musical subtleties & was masterful without showmanship which makes it very worthwhile listening to the man who gave the premier in 1913.

Monteux was born 1875, Brahms died 1897 so surely Monteux will have absorbed much from his favoured composer in those 22 years & who is heard here in the latent power for a sensitive soul.

Although I & others have uploaded this in the past, here it is again in all it's musical glory.
