We present this brand-new September 2022 performance as the last of the three featured in this series. Fabio Luisi names Sawallisch as one of his mentors and a role model as a musician. In Part 1 of this series, you heard the Brahms symphony that was Sawallisch's final collaboration with the NHKSO. Now, listen to Luisi's Brahms symphony and see if you can detect any indication of the direction the orchestra is headed under his directorship . You may catch the melodic phrases that Luisi, an Italian, infuses into this new performance. Brahms is one of the representative composers in the NHKSO repertoire. Speaking of the repertoire, Luisi stated he will perfect it by making it deeper, newer and different, and this intent can clearly be felt in this rendition . Watch this and the other two performances in this series as the standard for comparison for all other Brahms symphony performances.
