The new Chailly/Gewandhaus Brahms Symphonies on Decca are really excellent. I'm hearing lots I've never heard before, thanks to a very lean and contrapuntal hearing of these pieces. These are the kind of performances which prove the value of continuing to perform and record this repertoire�

They're available as 24/96 downloads in various places on the web. Mine came from HighResAudio who provide a PDF booklet which is formatted for a landscape screen, so perfect for iPad. Very cool touch. (Don't know if that's Decca or the website's work.)

The same team's Beethoven symphonies are also very good indeed.
