My current favorite is a 1946 performance by Efrem Zimbalist w/ the Boston =
Symphony Orchestra and Serge Koussevitzky, restored last year by Mark Obert=
-Thorn http://tiny.cc/y84mlw

<<The source for the Brahms was a CD-R copied from a tape transfer of the o=
riginal broadcast acetates. Although there are some intermittent problems, =
the basic sound quality is notably above average for broadcast transcriptio=
ns of that era. There is a wealth of audible detail, including Koussevitzky=
=92s spoken =93Bravo=94 at the end of Zimbalist=92s sublime performance of =
the second movement.>>

Caveat: those uncouth Bostonians clap between movements =97 the nerve!
