Romy,FWIW I listened to a lot of Bruckner and Mahler when I was younger. Over time I noticed that I preferred Mahler when he was more objective and Bruckner when he was more subjective. So at my riper age I listen to Mahler's Sym 2 and 9 and occas...

That Bruckner 7 on Valentine Day was not good. Mariss Jansons does not “get” Bruckner and Royal Concertgebouw played not well. However, tomorrow the retched Carnegie Hall has an opportunity to recover itself. Amy and I visit tomorrow New York with ...

Hi romy,Are you familar with the integral released recently with the orchestre de aix la chapelle direction Bosch ? I heard the etude "zero zero" on the radio and thought it was nice modern interpretation. They want 114€ for the set though!R weissman...

Yep, Zubin Mehta brings B8 with Israel Philharmonic in Boston in the end of the month. That will be interesting. I do not think that Israel Philharmonic will be able to play it in the way I would like to hear it but there is no such a thing as too fr...

I have recently one of those "audio visits" where
a g guy from far away lends with his morono-emblematic jazz interests spent an evening
in my listening room. As usually we play some of my recording and spin some vinyl
and as usually I was holding...

John Berky posted at his site 4 lossless files of Karl Grunsky’s Transcription for two pianos of Bruckner
9. It has also the Carragan’s last movement. It is interesting endeavor and if
you like the Fumiko Shiraga’s wonderful attempt of Adagio from ...

[quote user="jp"]I have been getting into Bruckner Third lately and Ive been trying to find some decent recordings. Jochum Berlin version I have is a bit too hurried. I would prefer something more articulate and with a bit more finesse. Any sugges...

[quote user="Axel"]My primary problem with this composer is his dogged insistence to modulate his music like a Bi-polar depressive nut. It has to rise up and down, up and down, on and on and on, when some conductors are just going completely nuts...

I think I have 3 versions of Bruckner 8, 2 performances on CD. 1 CD is Carl Schuricht/Stuttgart, 1954, and the other is Herbert von Karajan/Vienna, 1988. The Karajan CD sounds better through my system, and I also prefer it in terms of the performance...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I keep bugging Yoshi, he is in Japan now, to bring me a set of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 by Takashi Asahina with Tokyo SO from 90s it should be very interesting… The damn Japanese have quite a price tag on the Asahina’s Buckner…...

It was 2 days ago – I opened my mails box and found a gift from Yoshi with a few very interesting Japanese CDs.
It was September 17, 1986. The ending his career Eugen Jochum takes Royal Concertgebouw to Japanese tour and plays in Tokyo Bruckner 7. ...

Jerry,
I might intellectually understand what you are saying but my personal experiences protest. The Nanut's Bruckner 8 is kind of “overly articulate without course”. When I hear Nanut I feel like a short-hair Abyssinian Cat is trying to fuzz hers...

From the beginning, I was drawn into the almost haunted look of 86 years old conductor. His facial expressions and body movements communicate the meaning of the music as much as the performance of the orchestra itself. You can also s...

A friend sent me a link to an interesting video about Bruckner
on analog. I do not know who the guy is; he is a Bruckner devotee, which is
good. I'm afraid I must disagree with his choices, although I certainly
enthusiastically support his appreci...

A few months ago, in May of last year in the thread about Listening Rooms and Composers and How to play Bruckner Sound on Audio I have complained that my room is not what I was looking for as I was hoping to have Bruckner Room but I need up with...

Uni,There is a Bruckner Motet in that stained glass I posted. You will have to turn off the amplifiers to hear it. Listen to the space with that glass in it. Don't you hear the Bruckner's contrapuntal modes loading the room? You don't need a sound to...

Then here is a new bright Brucknererian star that discovered recently: Lovro von Matacic. Did you even heard Bruckner colorful, not with zillions grades of gray and with fluctuation pressure but in full color, real color? Try the Lovro von Matacic, a...

Actually my interest with Bruckner in a way was very much associated
with Clark. A couples years back, when I confronted him with that memory, my
wife even begin to express to Clark her gratitude and she got a husband out of this
deal (Amy and I m...

I think this relates to the diminishing popularity of baseball. Yes. Baseball is "America's National Pastime"... and called that for good reason. The operative word is "pastime". Baseball properly speaking is not a sport (nor is cricket for that matt...

I was listening today before MET broadcast the Tintner’s and Ireland National Symphony take on Bruckner Second. It is very nice, not to mention that Tintner plays Bruckner original version.

Yes, Mats is right - Erxleben is the violinist in the Shosty VC1 I sent Romy. 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!I must confess that I really enjoy ...
