The concerto sessions took place at a time when we were experimenting with quadraphonic recording, although no Deutsche Grammophon discs were ever issued in that format. Emil Gilels had already made a highly successful recording of the Second Concerto for another company and knew the work backwards, so the sessions were easy, the slow movement in particular requiring very little subsequent editing.
Gilels took the business of recording very seriously and was determined that we should too. For him the sound had to be worked on during the sessions, just like his interpretation. Once we let him try out the piano in eight different positions before he was convinced that the one we had advocated from the beginning was correct!
When Eugen Jochum was asked in an interview a year before his death about the finest recordings of his long and distinguished career, he singled out the Brahms concertos with Gilels for special mention. Considering that Jochum was “only” accompanying a soloist, it is hard to imagine a more eloquent tribute to the discs’ success.
