Dear All, My wife and I are planning a short break in Vienna next March. I would like to ask if anyone has details of what were B's favourite restaurants, so...
Dear Alastair, It looks like I'm going to be the first to give the obvious answer: "Zur roten Igel" (the Red Hedgehog), where Bruckner and Brahms had their...
Greetings,everybody,and a happy new year to you all! I am very interested in anything you could tell me about conductor Felix Prohaska's involvement with...
Dear Al, VMT for your info. I'm not sure the "Hedgehog" still exists, but I'll look it up. "Gause's" is a place I'll have to do some research on. Best wishes,...
What a wonderful way to start the New Year - with a new realization of the Finale to the Ninth! Thanks, Nicolas and Sébastien!!! And thank you, John! Last...
Hi Josh (and Happy New Year!), Henry Fogel, in his series on unusual and excellent Bruckner recordings for WFMT (Chicago), played the Keilberth 6th. It is an...
Happy New Year to you as well! Thanks for taking the time to send this extensive resource. Program 7 may be a hit! Neil, you are a worthy Brucknerian! best, ...
Thanks, Josh, although there are those in this group who are far worthier! Thanks to John Berky (who is indeed one of whom I speak) I just received the...
Dear All, Does anyone know this recording? It seems to get good critical reviews and I'd like to get a copy, but the price is quite high, so I'd be interested...
Greetings, There are alot of conductors that i admire and collect recordings of, that i have absolutely no idea on whether they conducted Bruckner. Namely, ...
I think none of them recorded Bruckner symphonies. Regards, Jorge ... recordings of, ... Monteux,Mitropoulos,Reiner,Sargent,Kleiber,Harty,R.Strauss,Pfitzner, ...
None of them recorded Bruckner, but Kleiber, Strauss, Pfitzner and Mitropoulos have conducted Bruckner. No idea about the others. Best, George Jorge F...
Hi-This is a totally amateurish question, but I need to know-if somebody wants to get good, but INEXPENSIVE CDs of the main Bruckner symphonies (4,6,7,8,9)...
Dear Anne, the choice is Tintner on Naxos. It is one of the best cycles ever recorded and on a bargain price. Gracias Juan I. Cahis Santiago de Chile ... From:...
... Hello Anne, well, I would consider with much attenction the CDs of George Tintner on Naxos. Truly inexpensive and (IMHO) simply wonderful... Kind regards, ...
Hi Anne! Your question is not at all amateurish! And I can certainly second Juan's recommendation of Tintner's Naxos recordings on the basis of both price and...
Hi Anne, Again you will hear about Tintner! This white box of treasures was my major introduction to Bruckner, indeed I consider it to be not only a good...
On Amazon alone, the Tintner set is from $108, the Jochum DG set is from $23. The Tintner may include earlier symphonies but you can always get them...
The Jochum DG set was one of the first available integral sets, if you don't count the D minor "Nullte" or the Study Symphony, neither of which Jochum...
Yes--good price for the set used. The Jochum DG set may not meet Anne's preferences, however, as he tended to be highly dramatic in this music. But it is a...
The Jochum's way may not suit the current taste of Anne's Bruckner. However since she stressed the money shortage, I don't think she would be willing to pay...
I think the single best inexpensive set is the Brilliant Classics re-release of Jochum's Staatskapelle Dresden nine, to which is added Skrowaczewski's ...

Dear all, Just a heads up and thanks again to Neil for the info. If anyone will be relaxing at home this Friday after a busy week, a little known 6th will be...
Dear Anne I find the EMI Celibidache/Munchner Philharmoniker set (from 3 to 9 and F minor mass) as the greatest Bruckner recordings ever. The complete set is ...
Yes that's was one of the best accounts I've heard a excellent balance between counterpoint and romantic phrasing - which is what the work is all about Brendan...
