Never got to hear him in person. I think the Brahms was one of his first stereo recordings. Bought it in late 1959 when released, one of the first 4-track tapes in my collection. The tape has a somewhat hissy channel on Side 2, and I've had 3 copies of the tape all with same issue, so the problem is likely in the running master. But the performance and recording are excellent, and I still listen to the tape frequently.
Incidently, the earliest Epic duplications were in linen boxes, on beige-colored reels with pie-shaped labels, and with printed leaders attached.
