A superb performance by Haitink and the Concertgebouw Orchestra, filled with the intimacy of chamber music.
The Serenade No. 1 showcases the fresh sensibility of the young Brahms and his already impressive compositional skills. Each section of the orchestra is carefully portrayed, and the conductor's intelligent approach maximizes the piece's appeal. This recording remains highly regarded as one of the most representative Brahms performances of the 1970s.
