I saw Eschenbach conduct many times when he was with the Philadelphia Orchestra. I had no problems with his conducting, but I often hated his programming decisions and I was not upset to see him leave. BUT . . . he seems to be a champion of this work, and for that I give him my full thanks. For over 50 years I have listened to almost nothing but classical music, and just when I thought I had heard all the great music there is to love, I became aware of this gem which I find I can totally enjoy in both forms. Again, Vielen Dank, Maestro Eschenbach! That said, just yesterday I heard a version conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen and was astonished at how different it is from Eschenbach's. I will have to hear it a lot more than once to decide between the two performances, but I look forward to that.
@paulsomers6048

Why decide between them? Why not accept them both? Brahms himself once said after hearing his 3rd played by an Italian orchestra, " Yes, it works that way, too." Of course he was being a bit of a snot to them, but for myself I've always tried to take his sentiment at face value. I can find room for Honek's Schubert 9 while continuing to like the more traditional tempi of other conductors.

I wish this work were played more often. Schönberg thought of it as Brahms' Fifth Symphony and, to him, it was orchestral in scale but I disagree with Schönberg. I don't think Brahms would have considered this work as anything other than a chamber work and Brahms would certainly never have considered orchestrating it. The fact that Schönberg created a masterpiece from Brahms' smaller scale conception (smaller in terms of the forces he chooses to write this music, this glorious music, for) is a massive achievement which should not be understated. Schönberg was a master orchestrator and his orchestration draws from Brahms score essence of Brahms' soul which cannot be fully experienced when hearing the original Piano Quartet. That is what I think, anyway. I wonder if Herr Eschenbach who almost decided to perform my orchestrations of 3 early songs by Alban Berg - with Renée Fleming as solist - would agree? It is funny how one's life path almost touches that of a great musician, isn't it? Well, Herr Eschenbach (I cannot help thinking how close his name is to the name of the protagonist in Thomas Mann's novella, Tod in Venedig (Death in Venice) - Herr von Aschenbach.- decided not to perform my orchestrations and I was never told why as this was an eve of concert decision so it is hard to believe that, at that late stage, he thought the orchestrations unworthy of Berg and therefore unworthy of performance but that is how things often go when you deal with conductors and orchestras. I have strayed from my theme a little here but I feel I have said all I wanted to say. Happy listening!

I am surprised that this is not played more often. OK, "Schoenberg " scares plenty of would-be concert-gpers, so maybe that is the problem. There's nothing twelve-tone about it. The orchestration is Schoenberg's, and it sounds much like how Brahms would orchestrate it. Schoenberg in fact admired Brahms. (OK, Brahms writes some of the most introspective music ever written, so I wouldn't introduce Brahms as the first classical composer to someone who has little familiarity with classical music).
@socialistdemocrat7207

on the contrary, Brahms' Hungarian Dances are ideal to introduce someone coming from pop music to classical music. They are short, lively, refreshing and fun to listen to. Perfect for someone who would be overwhelmed by 50 to 90 min of orchestrated symphonies

Christoph Eschenbach is the best Brahms conductor, even if Brahms' music is not so well altered by Schoenberg in the sense that Brahms intended. Schöberg should have looked more closely at Brahms' Third and Fourth Symphonies and Double Concerto for his orchestration of this Brahms quartet, which sounds like a fanfare in his orchestration.
@jestemqiqi7647

Sounding exactly like Brahms was not the point at all. Otherwise, Schoenberg would never have employed the extended percussion section including xylophone, nor triple woodwinds. It is a composition by Brahms orchestrated by Schoenberg, and liking it or not is up to personal taste.

Schoenberg starts this one so clearly in Brahms' own orchestral style, and then goes overboard with the brass writing. I wish he would have restrained from using the Xylophone in the finale and kept strictly to Brahms own orchestra. So no percussion except gran cassa, cymbals and triangle allowed. Because at times this is so close to the style that it could pass as Brahms' own orchestration and then the e-flat clarinets show up and you think.... erm---- no! The interpretation is top notch. I have Eschenbach's BMG recording, and this here is better.

Quotenwagnerianer Schönberg was quite clear about his aim of orchestrating Brahms' Piano Quartet using the instruments available at the time - 1936, if I remember correctly. Brahms never used bass clarinet or cor anglais in his orchestrations, for example. Brahms also disliked valve horns preferring to write for the warmer-toned but less powerful natural horn which his father had taught as a boy growing up in Hamburg. Schönberg also uesd a large percussion section which, to Brahms, was unheard of.

There is no "original version" of this work; there is only the fulfilled work, which Schoenberg accomplished. (Would the Hungarian Dances be listened to if they had not been orchestrated?) The Romantics, Early and Late, were not especially comfortable in the chamber music format. Beethoven and Schubert could well look back to Mozart and Haydn, but Brahms (even though he pined for the past) could only be brought into the future, by Schoenberg.
