I had today a fantastic listening experience and made today a stunning discovery.
I was very exhausted today, did not feel good – a life of self-employed contractors sometimes we need to work while sick… Dot home, had a lot of work to do and ...

Today, at Mravinsky's birthday I publish a good article by Rob Barnett: the Classical Editor of the UK-based http://www.musicweb.uk.net. Rob gives a brief observation of the 20 CDs Melodia's box-set with Mravinsky's recordings.

Yes, that's the one. I look forward to hearing what you think - but I am sure you will not be disappointed (remember to fasten your seat-belt before pressing 'play' on your CD player!!).It is also very well worthwhile looking out for the ...

I can hear the whole of Mozart's 35th and Bruckner's 5th and to me the Bruckner 5 performance is very good despite the awful compression. Good enough to go into your "Recording Of The Week" section.I also wish they would release non-compressed files ...

I am now in the mid of Philadelphia airport if I have a chance to give $5000 and to listen my Bruckner 8 then I would do it. Sometimes in life the circumstances turn that I need it to the pain in my bones......

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 ...

Hi RomyHave you received the CDR pack I sent you which includes the Tintner Bruckner 7? If not, it must be lost and I'll send it again.I don't know if it will have the "right tone" though - you know, I didn't think this was possible, but ...

I have an EMI DVD of Jochum conducting Bruckner 7. Orchestre National de France, played in the Theatre de Champs Elysees, Paris, France, on 6th February 1980.The performance is very special. The opening especially is pretty much perfect!Y...

Playing the Günter Wands’ recordings of the last Bruckner Symphony with NDR (North German Radio Orchestra) from 1978-88 during Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. Another “amateur” conductor with phenomenal sound! I need a bigger place as I would like...

if you like it at all, then it may be a change from this dour fellow Herr Bruckner... "Der Zigeunerbaron" Overture, with the Berlin Philharmoniker and H. Karajan (EMI Electrola C 065-02 642 from 1976).It all happens on side two first band. When you m...

I am checking now a "redbook" Mahler CD that I have that should "change your mind", if you have the digital chain to unleash it. OK, it is Mahler 3 by the Westdeutscher Rundfunk Synfoniorhcester, Koln, under Semyon Bychknov. Try this and hear what yo...

Ah Romy, of course it's a big deal. You did something very special, and shared it with the world. You brought Bruckner into your home, followed you heart, and we all shared a little in the joy. It was truly amazing and inspiring on so many levels. Ta...

Wow, what an unexpectadly wonderfull concert! The Peter Eotvos vailine concerto was super refreshing and the Bruckner 7 by Philharmonia Orchestra and Esa-Pekka Salonen was fantastic. I wish the RAH had better accustics however..... ...

Clark, I am with all seriousness inform you that the best match for your exotic wine will be drinking this wine with me. We can even manage to open the bottles with opening bars of the Haas version of the last movement of the 8th symphony. What might...

Rony, if you live in France and are traveling to SF Bay area then it is non-direct fly and you most likely will stop at east cost to change the plane. So, set the stop tin Boston, spend a day with me and I will play to you all Bruckner that you ever ...

Hi RomyShould I pay 95€ for a seat ro hear LSO /haitnick perform Bruckner 7th? It will be broadcast live over the net by the way. I don't have much experience with Haitnick but something makes me think he is more comfortable with mozart?...

Romy:I hope you and Amy are snug amid the storm and have good electricity (well, any electricity in a big blizzard is good electricity, I guess.) What music do you find appropriate to the weather this weekend? There should be something suitable in ...

A local audio guy brought yesterday a box set with all Bruckner symphonies by Volkmar Andreae, all the 1953 broadcasts with Wiener sympony

I agree about Solti's Bruckner -- with the one exception of the 6th symphony. Solti's no-nonsense precision works wonders for me in that symphony, and it is I think my favourite version....

Hi Jerry, the Tintner recording of Bruckner VII is excellent. It's a pity he didn't include the (albeit controversial but certainly spectacular) cymbal crash towards the end of the second movement.Chris...

Perhaps we mean different things by the word 'accident'. For me, an accidently great piece of art would be if I painted things at random on a canvas and it 'accidentally' turned out to be identical to a masterpiece by Rembrandt. Pure chan...

I have added to my list the Karajan’ recording with Wiener Philharmonic made in April 1989, sorry I missed it initially. Karajan generally with Vienna is more interesting then with Berlin Philharmonic, not to mention that he is generally better recor...

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....

Yes, a great Bruckner conductor - but also a very fine composer in his own right. I have a couple of CDs of Andreae's own music, both on the Swiss label Guild. The string quartets are fine, but very special indeed are the piano trios. Highly disti...

Did you find that instead of resurrecting your interest it finished it off and its now Bruckner all the way? Or did recent changes in the Macondo bass config reveal something new?Ok, no idea......

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 suggestions?...

The full-rage single-driver acoustic systems is probably the most hated playback topology by me. It is irrelevant if you use $200 Fostex or you use a family reserved edition of AER driver for $64.000. The result you have the same: a horrible dynamic ...
