[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...

We are talking about subjective reactions so there is no way to dispute either of our responses. However, I do see a disconnect between your statements that I quoted and your subsequent post. In the first post you were talking about the Queen of Spad...

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...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]One recording that you must become familiar with: Sigmund von Hausegger and the Munich Philharmonic (1938). It was the first, and followed (be a few years) that conductor's famous concert of two Bruckner Ninths -- Lowe's an...

As I told before: screw the after war recordings of the Bruckner 9! I think it is not about the performances itself but the way in witch they are recorded. For whatever reasons Bruckner sound very strangely recorded if it is not live and if the poly-...

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 ...

Lovro von Matacic was one of the great conductors who preserved the authentic late-Romantic tradition into the late-Romantic age.
He was a member of the Vienna Boys' Choir, then studied at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik. There he studied piano, org...

I did mean the recent recordings but rather the personal “recording of the week”, the personal recent discoveries. BTW, I never heard the Pergolesi Stabat Mater before. I will look the Alessandrini’s one….
Here is one wonderful recent discover...

I remember a couple year back I was observing how sound of playback interact with sound of the forest just out of my listening room. Somebody even proposed that it would be fun to have Mahler 7 complimented by the scream “off stage” life deer… Last n...

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...

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...

While I am in UK, have UK’s IP as am trying to use your instruction to get the Bruckner 8 from Proms. We are somewhere at the Scotland border, it is 4AM in the morning and for the last 2 hours I was trying to follow your instructions but all my effor...

I always advocate that a civilized audio-practicing person must have one playback. I very much did not like the Morons who have multiple duplicating amplifier, speakers and multiple listening rooms. For sure they all produce slightly different fl...

Yes, it seems like these "crescendos" should have something under them for "support" and "seriousness", and the something should be the size of Valhalla. My ceiling is only 8' and it seems "too low for Bruckner". Mark's higher ceiling works better ...

playing Bruckner with the Boston Phil. I trust you and she enjoyed it. Bruckner symphonies apart from the early Nulls and B1 are quite hard to play. It isn't because the individual parts are so hard for pros of course but because Bruckner was thinki...

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...

Yup, Kegel is an excellent and under-appreciated conductor. I have his complete Beethoven symphony set which are all very fine "middle of the road" performances. I also have him in Bruckner 5th and 8th (both with the Leipzig Radio Or...

OK, I'm late for the party, but von Matacic/CPO, Bruckner 7, 1967 is a whole new Universe of Bruckner. The Maestro goes "beyond orchestration" to voice this symphony so every part of it is Musical, and the whole is such a phenomenal symphony that I a...

Great story... and analogy.Happy to see you have found Hr. Andreae. His Bruckner set is as good as it will ever get (as a set by one conductor) and moreover represents an inheritance of decades of original Bruckner performance, although it was made l...
