This is a Wonderful Brahms and, NO CONDUCTOR!!!!! It was played with superb musicianship from all in the orchestra. I wonder how long and what process the group undertake to achieve such a unified concept of the work and how many rehearsals it took in the hall to achieve such unique ensemble sound in which one clearly hears Brahms' intricate inner lines. With such a strong interpretive commitment, skillfully conveyed, who needs a conductor. BRAVO.
