Just to clarify things, my post #4994 in response to Gert should have appeared before my post #4992 in response to Neil. I still believe that a temporary...
Well, I've heard of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, mostly as actors, didn't even know they used to work together. I guess that fact was more known in USA than...
Jorge, Martin and Lewis were a comedy and singing team on stage and in films before they split up and went their separate ways in the 1950s. I would opine...
I disagree. I think the reconstruction of the Finale should be mentioned here any times as necessary. As there are some that don't like it, there are others...
... Thanks for the suggestion, Warren. There is a fine line between when a topic has been "exhausted", gone off track, or far askew... As long as people are...
...That's also (exactly) my point of view. Thanks Michael (and let me add... many thanks also for your excellent work in this forum) ! ... Kind regards, Marco...
Yes, I think B5 might be better suited to listening after returning home from Friday afternoon rush hour traffic! If my connection is good I will try to...
... I do hope there will be no need to "close" some topics just because of... err... heated discussions have taken place in the past - there are new ...
Sorry, but I don't like the idea. Sometimes, a member of the group wants to initiate an old topic but from a different perspective, or as a result of a new...
Warren, this is a good point. In my opinion very famous conductors are resistant to program music that they have not already conducted, like many of them that...
Warren, you know, I feel lucky that my introduction to the Bruckner 3rd was that Haitink concert I attended of the second version. I think that if I had...

Dear members of the Club, Sincerely, I am not offering you the chance to buy a T-shirt with Ben Cohrs' face and signature on it. Only sometimes I like to...
Bad Luck, had to work until late today :-( Tomorrow it'll be difficult, the broadcast taking place at local 18:25. I'll try to leave work earlier, but don't...
Dear friends: "With a total time of about 8 minutes, scholars indeed felt this was quite long for a piece meant to be used as an "entr'acte" aswell ..." And...
Jorge, I captured the Iceland performance today on my computer. Sakari divided the 1st and 2nd violins! Never heard that before in this work. Revealed...
Jorge, I am not aware that the subject of whether or not the Finale should be reconstructed, performed or recorded has ever been in serious question in this...
Interestingly enough, Neil, your comparisons of Haitink's Bruckner performances vs. recordings are echoed by others regarding his conducting of Mahler!...
Juan, I completely agree with the idea that the breakthrough for the 9th Symphony Finale movement will come, if it does come, through performances and...
Alexander, I love Celi performing Bruckner, but apart from his failure to perform (for recordings to be made) the first 4 Bruckner Symphonies, the one other...
Juan, it's the Scherzo of the Rott Symphony which makes me most feel like Mahler plagerized him, or was writing a Rott pastiche on the order of the "1825...
Neil, in agreement with Alexander's post, you will probably want both the CPO and Arte Nova recordings of the Hans Rott Symphony simply because they do have as...
Juan, could I get a "burn" of your "re-realized" version of the "Unfinished" Symphony with your recording of the Finale? I'm sure that it will come as no...

Now, what's the size of your recording files, if I may ask? Broadcasts are usually compressed, so perhaps it might be included in an email message, as Juan...
Indeed great stuff, Neil. Celibidache's version of Bruckner 4 stands as something special. Bruckner's Coda seems to open with a 'satellite like connection' to...
