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...

There was a guy as one musical forum. His name is William Sommerwerck and for all intended purpose he is an idiot. He was posting more or less lucid comments about music but he also fancied himself as some kind of expert on audio. He insisted th...

[quote user="JANDL100"] I'm glad the discs have arrived OK. The Nanut Eroica is good - the Bruckner 8 is GREAT. You must listen to it soon![/quote]Jerry, I was intentionally slow with Nanut’s Bruckner 8. I of course have listened it now a...

[quote user="unicon"] Romy can you explain the differences between a Bruckner room and Bach room ?(technically) Im all new in this subject. rooms are a part of audio playback to transparent audio waves in my idea and no more.[/quote] I wish I could...

There is wonderful box set of all Bruckner symphonies that has very easy listening and offers a very good snapshot what Bruckner is all about. It is Wurttemberg Philharmonic Reutlingen under direction of Roberto Paternostro. The box has 11 CD, all-li...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Please, please, please, the British folks, make sure that you have download, record or whatever you do the last night Bruckner 8 performance. Leave the hornblende Bach plaing in the first part alone and preserve that Brucke...

I agree with most everything said except for the first paragraph. The reason that the Schalk revisions are discredited is because they were done to water down the original works. I don't say Schalk did it for bad reasons at the time but they are fals...

Wow, the Definitive Audio is half hours away from London, this is good news. I did look at Google and it said 2.45 Hours but I might look some at something different. We probable will be staging near Royal Abler Hall, which is center city. We are ver...

I have to admit that I am not a huge fun of the Chibas’ Bruckner. Well, he might be OK but am very much do NOT like how the Orquesta Sinfónica Venezuela sounds. All the exuberant reviews about the recordings are juts a pile of reviewing crap. There a...

There is an Old Russian joke about a young bull and old bull is coming along the flock of cows and a young bull saying: “Grandpa let run very fast from this hill and have sex with that beautifully cow!” In couple minutes he comes again: “Grandpa let ...

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 ...

I have been listening for the last week German player Fumiko Shiraga plays Bruckner’s sole piano works. The CD has the piano version of the Adagio from Symphony No. 7, the 26 min 40 second of pure hallucinogenic ride. I think the world pianist need t...

Beinum recorded the Bruckner 8 in 1955 twice, in April and In June. My comment above goes for June recording.
There is something else I would like to add in context to Beinum 55 vs. Lubeck’s Wand.
The Lubeck’s Wand to me is still the ultim...

[quote user="Paul S"] Anyway, the sound was good enough that I put on Bruckner 7 (Solti/VPO) as soon as CFT was done. This was not bad, but also not everything I hoped for….[/quote] I wonder what do you hope to hear in the Bruckner 7? I mean do you ...

Romy, thanks for another nudge toward Bruckner. I was not at all aware of Schuricht before your post, and I do like what I heard of his 8th and 9th via headphones, off the computer, although I realize this is a just thumbnail version. You have said s...

[quote user="zako"]After listening to Bruckner many many times,, And professionally recording his compositions,, I am compelled to make this auwfull statement,,, I feel that he is a second rate composer,,,He,s done a large body of work,...

Schuricht? Pah, no, not for me. Mediocre, bland, boring - gong nowhere from nowhere. Just my opinion ;-) Yes, the VPO is an infinitely better 'Bruckner orchestra' than Nanut's Ljubliana grou...

I thought the issue with V Matacic and Bruckner was his devotion to the Schalk editions. I only have the B7 by him for that reason although it is possible that some of his Bruckner recordings used Bruckner's versions. I'll have to investigate furthe...

A few weeks back a local guy stopped by, spent a few hours listening and told me that no one play Bruckner like I do. I pitched this idea to a few visitors on mine since then and they unanimously agreed. The most important is that it is exactly how I...

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...

Christoph Eschenbach led last night BSO with the Bruckner symphony and it was somewhere between “boring” and “waste of time”. I hope the Saturday performance will be better. We had tickets for Saturday but we will be out of town, so we went for Thurs...

I was inspired by all of those conversations at the site about Celibidache and Bruckner and last night I decided to listen the Eighth from Celibidache and Münchner Philharmoniker. This is live recording of Nowak version from. I do not know the year o...

Unfortunately Lenny Bernstein did nothing to advance Bruckner here and the critic Harold Schonberg kept up the verbal abuse against him for 30 years or so. Romy is correct that Bruckner requires performance familiarity. A few rehearsals won't cut it....

God, Mats, thank you for reminding me about the Clark’s favorite recordings. I went over just one box and I have so many more! I wish I had time to do it, I had some time luxury a couple month ago as but not now. I do need to run that project through...

Listing here and there more Bruckner Fifth I have to tell you something. This Bruckner Fifth by Zander and his semi-armature Boston Philharmonic is amusingly good. I just wish they release it committal that the people would know how to play Bruckner ...

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...

Wagner considered Bruckner unintellectual and uninformed but he did Not have a low opinion of Bruckner as a composer. Two entirely different things. Many people thought Bruckner was extremely naive socially speaking and not conversant with the ideas ...

"Under Young’s button the 8th sound like it is a light, concert version of the symphony, some kind of almost operetta-style phrasing. Then I presume that this style is not Ms. Young version but Bruckner own original vision."
I don't think Bruckner...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The first one is Wand’s live recording with Berlin in 1999. It was Bruckner Seventh. I heard a few Wand’s Bruckner Seventh and I do not like any of them. This one from 1999 is the best Wand with Bruckner 7, however it does ...
