Dear NAOHITO Szell is creat, however out of the 18 B-8s I have there is one I consider the last word. Gunther Wands C D recorded in Lubeck Cathedral #...
... I'm no indiscriminate fan of Wand's but I have to agree with Al that this is one of the great recordings of this piece. I would add the various Furtwangler...
I totally agree with Al about Wand's 8th, and I think that his expression "the last word" is wholly correct: this means that none (or few, at least) of the...
Hi Igor, Which early Boehm did you refer to ? 1969 ? Did recording history start then ? Try Celi B8 in Lisbon (1994) if you can. I would like to know if Wand...
Hi Stephen, I would expect you to recommend Goodall and, above all, Barbirolli. Isn't the latter an absolute chaos ? I admire Barbirolli, but not the 1970 B8....
Hi George, I was referring to a live recording in late 40's (Boehm conducting Wiener Philharmoniker), but I don't remember the exact date.. Beside this you...
Hi Igor, I would certainly welcome more info on the 3 Boehm recordings you referred to since only the 1943 B7 is known to me. Our John F. Berky doesn't mention...
Hi Igor, I’m interested in these Boehm recordings you are referencing in your postings. You say that these were once available in an Italian Magazine? I ...
... Hi George - Thanks for your question. i was surprised by it and just re-listened to the Barb 8th. Far from chaotic. Some of the normal in-concert bloops...
Dear John, I have to be sincere: at the present time I don't remember the name of the magazine I mentioned previously, the only thing I know is that my music...
Hi Stephen, I'll have another try with Barbirolli B8 and let you know how I feel about it. I was probably having too high expectations from him because I had...
... The finale is the least good of the four movements. I didn't find it disappointing on its own terms, but compared with notable finales from Furtwangler,...
Concerning the below-mentioned tread, I've just got the following translation of Ben Cohrs' text from a friend. I'm sure it's Ok, but it's up to you to judge. ...
Hi folks, I feel really flattered!!! ;-) Its a very good translation; sorry that I can´t provide them in English myself - I am horribly busy (though,...
Hi Ben, Can we have your review on Thielemann B5 in german ? Best, George ARTIUM BREMEN <artiumbremen@...> wrote: Hi folks, I feel really flattered!!! ;-)...
I am not clear on the correct word to describe it, but I was struck by the similarity between the Scherzo of Bruckner's First and that of the Ninth Symphony. ...
... Hi Ben, Can we have your review on Thielemann B5 in german ? Best, George Well - I had warned you... ;-) Best Ben Bruckner: Sinfonie Nr. 5; Münchner ...
Hi Anneliese, Maybe it's because I know both the 1st and 9th symphonies so well, but I hear no similarities (except perhaps for rhythmic) in the scherzi. Both...
Hi Ben, I wonder why I can't find it there. Exactly where should I look at in order to find this and other reviews of yours, Bruckner-related or not ? Best, ...

Thank you Ken for the information on the Latin liturgy. I must confess that I am a lapsed Catholic but was introduced to the Latin after the Mass was revised...
