We've heard the radiant slow movement of Brahms's First Symphony, back in July 2009, though I see that that Karajan clip has been disappeared. Well, tonight we're hearing it again! I don't think we need a reason, but in fact we have one, which will become clear tomorrow night.

We're going to hear two recorded performances by the Vienna Philharmonic, and again there doesn't have to be any particular reason why we should be hearing these particular performances, but there is one, which again will become clear tomorrow night.
BRAHMS: Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68:
ii. Andante sostenuto
Vienna Philharmonic, Sir John Barbirolli, cond. EMI, recorded 1967
Vienna Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein, cond. DG, recorded live, Oct. 12, 1981
IN TOMORROW NIGHT'S PREVIEW, EVERYTHING BECOMES CLEAR
