For the last couple weeks I have been enjoying the Stanislav Skrowaczewski’s Bruckner. I got a box set with all 11 symphonies with Deutsche Radio Philharmonic and it is very pliant. Now it is not the best Bruckner I heard and Saarbrücken Radio Philh...

Steverino, I feel with Bruckner, not like with anybody else, people shall practice holistic approach to listening. It is not juts melodies and sounds of tunes but the whole experience of being who you are exposed to the whole experience of proper pr...

I was listening yesterday the Karajan 1976 performance of Bruckner 5 with Berlin Philharmonic. It is one of the greatest fifth I know off and I love it tremendously. I am not sure what happened but I think I lost consciousness listing the perfor...

The former subject of Bruckner and women got some new perspective recently. Amy and I met a few days before last year’s Valentine primary as two Bruckner mamzies. We did not develop the “sparkling chemical reaction” right the way since the day #1. I...

What is interesting is that Bruckner harmonies impact the way how I think about Bruckner Sound.
Sometime I have an itch for some music. It is very unpredictable and in way remands the craving s of a pregnant woman. It might be anything, from a...

JP,Try the 1990 performance by the Vienna Philharmonic with Bernard Haitink conducting. Its still available new on CD. Sound quality is excellent; interpretation very much to my liking, but that is subjective.The same performance was later offered al...

I got today two new recordings, Bruckner 2 with Giulini and Wiener and Bruckner 8 with Gunter Wand. The Bruckner 2 was very much not what I expected, not to mention that sound on this Testament CD was horrible, but the Bruckner 8 was a truly somethin...

Last week Amy and I went to listen BSO under Andris Nelsons to play Bruckner 4. It was OK concert. BSO is not really Bruckner-type ensemble and Nelsons is too young to be “interesting” Bruckner interpreter. Still, there were some good moments t...

I wonder if people could play the Bruckner’s Ninth during peace-time or the universal misery of this work do requires some presents of some war-like external non-resolvable tragedy?
The WWII started in end of 1944 when a first “Liberty” ship was try...

Those are indeed great recordings, although for some reason I'm not as huge a fan of the Furtwaengler as most. But let it pass, let it pass.One recording that you must become familiar with: Sigmund von Hausegger and the Munich Philharmonic (1938...

Tintner's is quite possibly my favourite opening of the 7th - hushed, mysterious, tremulous and Oh, so atmospheric. Wonderful sound quality too!...

Perhaps you have also tried the rather delicate Astley's 109 (Virginia)? For a not-heavy Latakia influence that is quite excellent, if you have not tried (E-T) Penzance, then do (somehow) find some of this! For "more" than the Astley's 44, if you h...

Well, this hoopla of new releases is always works mysteries. Whit unit in a few years the same box set will be selling in Japan for $2K. Nevertheless, with all “public fashion” of Celibidache and the popularity of Celibidache and Bruckner I have to a...

A new company have made available Barenboim with Staatskapelle Berlin Bruckner 1-3 http://www.peralmusic.com/
There is a video in there with Barenboim presentation, stupid from my perspective but it is what it is.http://www.peralmusic.com/recordi...

[quote user="JANDL100"] Have you got around to the Nanut Bruckner 8 yet, Romy? Love it or hate it, I'm sure you'll have a strong opinion! [/quote]
I have listened it a few times and I still do not know. I like the performance but it did ...

It is hard to stress how much “right tone” an orchestra need to play the adagio from Bruckner 7. It might be a good orchestra but it might still be “the-Adagio-incompatible” and I have seen very few of them that are compatible.
I am playing now a v...

[quote user="dazzdax"]This 1977 recording with RCO and Haitink is also a good one and included the cymbal crash.[/quote]

After a week I am still under impression of the Benjamin Zander’s broadcast of Bruckner Fifth. The Fifth is the symphony that I never “got” and never liked. Whatever I heard was kind of boring, even if it was live. A month or so ago WGBH broadcasted ...

Interesting. This weekend a local guy visited and and he had a conversation about my playback. He said that my playback has very distinct my type of sound and it makes Bruckner to sound like Mahler. I was surprised with this assessment as I always th...

Eventually I have found the Bruckner Second symphony that is played how I feel it need to be played. The recording is from 1973: Horst Stein lead the mighty Wiener Philharmoniker. I got my CD on Decca Eloquence. This is unspeakably wonderful and I h...

I had yesterday a visitor from west coast came to my place and we spent sometime to listen some music. It is interesting that among all music that I played for him I had little interest to how my playback sounded unless I played Bruckner. I kind of...

Clark, of cause you might have any copy you want but I need to warn you that it is, in my view, very far from the “greatest Eighth performances ever”. The BSO history attributes to Tennstedt the great debut with BSO in 1974. It was a good debut and B...

I do not know how about to “compare”. I did not have the box set that you have and I did not hear the specific recording you refer to. It might be fine performance. My comment before was based upon my other Celibidache Bruckner. Frankly Bruckner 3 i...
