So little activity in this forum lately calls for something to be done to stimulate discussion. We've done this before, so maybe people would like to do it...
For me that would be Leonard Bernstein; not for recording Bruckner (as I don't know any recording by Bernstein) but for using that famous theme from the 6th...
Dear all, Last thursday march 30 was the openingsevening of my photo-art exhibition 'A Symphony for the Arts', shown in Antwerp Belgium, wich contains a...
Well. Jan, Bernstein did commercially record the Bruckner 9th Symphony, at least; I have a burn from a NYP collection with the 6th Symphony which I wanted...
Hello Warren, You will hear it in the opening (and later again) of the 2nd movement. With Bernstein it's called "Somewhere". I didn't know there was a...
Jan: Thanks for pointing that reference out. Speaking of the B6, I was glad to get a burn of the Swoboda recording and thought that I would like the Scherzo...
Once again, it's time for the Seoul Arts Center's annual orchestra festival, in which orchestras from across the Korean peninsula are invited to perform. There...
If you're in the Boston area, you might want to come downtown this Friday, April 7 to hear Chorus pro Musica perform the E-minor Mass together with Four...
I got the Guenter Wand Edition Vol. 2 today, along with a DVD of Karajan and the BPO doing the B8. So far I've listened to the B4 from the Wand set, recorded...
... May I suggest that the effect Wand gets is the reason why there are pauses in many of Bruckner`s Symphonies and this effect is what Bruckner actually heard...
If you are referring to the sound he heard when he cut off a loud passage on an organ while playing in a church, I think that you are right. --Warren...
Isn't that the reason why Celibidache plays the symphonies of Bruckner in a slower tempo ? With a slower tempo detail gets audible. A 'secret' knowledge of...
Once upon a time, when there were conductors around who really knew what they were doing musically, it was commonplace for them to adjust their basic tempo for...
Happy birthday, Gert. A slower tempo helps get a better view of details, but only when the conductor knows what he does. Best, George Gert Van Gelder...
... passage on ... Warren ... Yes Warren, this is exactly what I mean. I am convinced that Bruckner thought in terms of the organ when composing but uses the...

Thank you Siggy, Neil and George for your best wishes... I always heard that Bruckner indeed composed his music corresponding to the way he composed for the...
I'd like to add : I think Anton Bruckner realised the orchestra was 'the' medium to explore the rich oppurtunities to tell stories and statements (about belief...
I think there is something quite dangerous in attaching images to music. This will vary from person to person depending partly on how strong their response to...

IMHO, what one "sees" when one listens to a piece of music is such a subjective thing that even if a program was attached to the music by the composer that...
Gert, I sent a message wishing you a "Joyeux anniversaire" the other day, but it apparently didn't get posted. I also asked, a propos of your having the same...
That's another reason why I don't like DVDs ;-) Regards, Jorge ... music. This will vary from person to person depending partly on how strong their response...

I suppose it was only a matter of time before Jean Marthé ("committed to the musical philosophy of Sergiu Celibidache") laid his hands on the 9th and its...
Better get this right: it'll be a performance of the Ninth with 'a newly composed finale by Marthé' - which could mean anything, and not necessarily a...
