As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

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...

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 have only a few of his recordings, but they are all wonderful.. His Bruckner is quite wonderful.I have his recordings of Beethoven 7th & 2nd symphonies, both echt-Beethoven, and his Bruckner takes pride of place in my collection - I have the fo...

The folks who read my site know that I keep puling from Tokyo’s HMV the Japanese domestic mastering of the performances that I have interest in. The Japanese for own market just press with completely deferent level of quality and I love their masteri...

My first post here!
I'm a big fan of Bruckner, too. I have a few different recordings of the 7th - In reverse alphabetical order, cos that's the way they're piled up now I've taken them off my CD shelves! ....Tintner, Muhai Tang, Sui...

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...

PaulSince we all have different ears I can only give my preferences as anyone else would. Also I don't know your tastes well enough to be confident you would feel as I do. Caveats aside, I have the versions by Walter, Karajan, v.Matacic. Typically v ...

Thanks for the compliment Romy - nice forum site you have here !!Yes, you really must hear the Tintner 7th - a very special performance, not just the opening. If I could only keep two 7ths I think it would be the Matacic 1967 & the Tintner....

Hm…. Listening Bruckner more than I am willing to admit publicly without fear of incriminating myself I need to say that have slightly different approach to Bruckner. First of all I do not differentiate different revision of Bruckner symphonies. I k...

Somehow I managed to orphan my 3rd/4th movement Q/A series in the Bruckner/Matacic thread. I just wanted to add here, properly, that my Solti/VPO performance does bring the whole B7, all movements, "together" via my system, when the electricity is g...

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...

Of the ones I know, your list is excellent. Not that hot on the Rosbaud and Klemperer, actually. I can only add the van Beinum. Wish I knew the von Matacic. Regarding Toscani, I auditioned this a few years ago at the Museum of Broadcasting (Hollywood...

[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...

Join us on Saturday, September 4, 2010, to celebrate Bruckner's 186th birthday in Carlsbad, California. This year marks our 12th annual Bruckner Marathon and we'd like to share some good music with Bruckner lovers. As in previous years, we'll pl...

It is not frequent Bruckner 7 in Boston and today is the day. Ben Zander takes today Boston Philharmonic with one single concert of Bruckner 7 at the symphony whole. I kind of feel almost responsible as I was harassing him last year asking him to p...

[quote user="JANDL100"]Tintner's is quite possibly my favourite opening of the 7th - hushed, mysterious, tremulous and Oh, so atmospheric. Wonderful sound quality too![/quote] Well, eventually I got a civilized person reading this site.

Nope it is not my birthday today, I share this day with Mahler but I truly celebrated my birthday yesterday. Yesterday I got home and found in my mail box a package from my Japanese friend. I brought it home, I knew what it was, I put it on my ta...

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...

A few years ago I did not “get” Bruckner. Then, like with everything else, it changed. And of course being a compulsive feline, I can not get enough of what I like….
I admit that I listen quite a lot of Bruckner lately. There is something very medit...

Today I experimented some more with positioning while
keeping Troels’ ideas in mind. I believe I mentioned that I liked the sound I
get when standing up between the speakers, as well as when I sit on the floor,
and when I measured the distance...
