Brahms 3, Boult, Christopher Howell
Posted by James Madison Cox on August 20, 2024, 2:32 am
Mr. Howell asks if Boult imposed his added tempo change in the Finale of the Brahms Third Symphony only on the c. 1971 EMI or perhaps also earlier in his career. All I can report is that Boult's 1954 Nixa (Westminster) ALSO had that added tempo change. I found it more convincing on the 1954 recording, but the point is simply that he did it. That tempo change is thought to be part of the Steinbach reminiscences of Brahms's suggestions. Bravo and thanks to Christopher Howell for his excellent article!
