[Highly rated reviewer]
very poor quality
The Guardian gave this DVD 5 stars. Maybe it is worth this from a perspective of historical interest. I wouldn't know. But with so many excellent concerts on DVD this really was not worth watching. The solo piano playing was OK but nothing special, but when it came to Brahms 2nd symphony the recording of the music was poor and the film was in black and white and out of focus! It may have been a good performance if you were there live but you'd be far better off listening to a decent CD with nothing to look at.
What a disappointment and I was so pleased the Guardian had given us some DVD reviews. -
