In the Thread: A “pocket version” of Bruckner.
Post Subject: Bruckner in the churchPosted by rowuk on: 12/2/2017
Herbert Blomstedt had a tour this past summer with the Bamberg Sinfoniker. I didn't get to hear them in the Stift Church in St. Florian, but in Würzburg in the Dom which also has a very nice "bloom". The only disadvantage was that the horns were sitting so that their sound went into the side naive and thus were about half as "present" as I would have preferred. The orchestra was on fire - no one knows how long Blomstedt can keep going.
I agree that this music belongs in big spaces that haven't been acoustically treated for "classical music".Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
