Dear Dave, Yesterday I was reading about Karajan on the net, and I found a nice article from you on Amazon about the set of nine symphonies of Bruckner from...
I can't speak for Dave (or for anyone other than myself, come to think of it), but I think the set is a lovely one and well worth the purchase price. Bruckner...
With all my respect I still find that the Karajan set (and even his achievement as a Bruckner conductor) never got close to the sheer beauty and spirituality...
... The 9 is Karajan and IIRC is the same one that was issued in the VPO anniversary set by DG. I like it better than any of his Berlin performances. It is...
Paulo, Jochum leaves me conflicted, in that I deeply admire the efforts he made on Bruckner's behalf, recording the first complete Bruckner Symphony set, etc.,...
Well, it certainly looks promising, because if I am right, this Karajan live recording with VPO on Bruckner 9 is the last recording known from him on B9 with...
Thank you, Paulo. I guess you like both the DG set with the Berliner and the Bavarian Orchestras and the one with the Dresden Orchestra on EMI just the same ? ...
Hi Paulo - You've illustrated a very interesting phenomenon that I've seen in the world of Bruckner performance. People who like the Jochum performances...
Actually, I myself prefer some of Jochum's later recordings, such as his last recording with the Concertgebouw of #5 on the Tahra label. It is the best...
As was mentioned, don't overlook the earlier EMI von Karajan Bruckner recordings. Some feel they have a better sound than the later DDD DG recordings with the...
For me what made Jochum stand out from other conductors was his sense of the theatrical in Bruckner's symphonies. Just before the first, apocalyptic tutti in...
I'm looking forward for your thoughts of this DVD-set - there is some time left for our distributors to get this mighty set to the shops... ... Warren...
I haven't listened to any of the DVDs yet, but I did notice that all four of the Bruckner Symphonies are performed according to the Haas Edition, so that may...
Dear Eric, Wich performance do you refer to? I think I already noticed this opinion from you a while ago. Wich CD do you mean? Greetings, Gert ... From: Eric...
This would be the older one from the 1960s, the one on DG with the Berlin PO, part of Jochum's first cycle. Sorry as I forgot to mention which label and...
I thank Stephen for his very kind message and also Warren, Gert and Eric for their comments. I just want to add the important contribution of Jochum for the...
... some more details, maybe even compared to works of other conductors? Dear Gert, Thanks for "blowing my cover" on Amazon. Hehehe. I truly appreciate your...
Dear Dave, Let me thank you so much for this very honest review, wich definitely comes from deep within yourself. I will keep this in my files for sure. Yours,...
Thank you sincerely, Eric. Gert ... From: Eric Koenig To: antonbrucknerclub@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 4:45 PM Subject: Re: [Y! Bruckner]...
... Warren, that timing for the finale of the fifth - 32:34 Excuse me, but could that be a typo? 22:34 for instance? I've never heard anybody go beyond 26...
I haven't listened to or timed the performance yet, but I will do so and let you know. It seemed lengthy to me, except for Celidibache perhaps? No, his SWRSO...
Very perceptive reviews, Dave. You are aware that Karajan's recording of the Sixth has always been thought to be good except for the first movement, for some...
The Motets are little gems, and I am glad to have gotten the complete DGG boxed set Jochum volume of the Sacred Music before it went out of print, as well as...
Among other things, there's Helgoland, which, together with Psalm 150, was one of two compositions that Bruckner worked on following his last revisions of his...
Yes, and HELGOLAND is readily available, but there are no recordings that I am aware of devoted exclusively to the many smaller secular choral works. --Warren...
Well, you were right to question that Bruckner 5th Finale timing, Paul: I just timed it at 24:21. The opening of the DVD shows scenes of Luebeck where the...
