London ffrr, CSA2216,; stereo LPI have always found the first movement of this symphony to be the most musically satisfying part of it, and nothing in the cited performance has changed this old bias. I have to give Solti credit here, however, fo...

[quote user="JANDL100"]Yes, a great Bruckner conductor …. [/quote] Hay, Jerry, long time no see…. I need to admit that Volkmar Andreae is better Bruckner conductor then his recordings are. Even though I do like what is trying to do but I am not wild...
