A diminuendo here, a crescendo there, such kind of things. Nobody is expected to respond the same way. Liner or program notes are just one of the many ways to...
In his essay "Bruckner editions: the revolution revisited" Korstvedt makes a good argument in favor of the study and use of the first printed scores. These...
Josh (and others similarly curious), John Berky (www.abruckner.com, then go to "Store") intermittently makes available for purchase recordings of Korstvedt's...
"Supposedly ok'd" is the watchword here. It is well known that Bruckner was easily intimidated and frequently lost faith in his abilities as a composer. This...
There is not a "big cut in the Adagio" of the Eighth, it lasts for 8 bars only. And Bruckner himself cut it before he composed the 1888 version of the Adagio,...
Neil, Again thanks for the cd. I listened to it and thought it was an excellent performance. It's too bad it was never released on a studio recording album,...
It depends on the Symphony. There is no doubt that the first printed version of the Fifth and the Ninth where made without any Bruckner involvement, but there...
Good Point Ralph, however since this is a supposition and we cannot be exactly sure, I think it is important that we do not dimiss the early versions...
Very True Juan, When we choose to only base our acception of a Bruckner symphony performance on the original manuscripts as the later editions were, we may be...
Juan, You are of course absolutely correct. It just seems longer to me because it forms a significant musical bridge between the two climactic sections, which...
First of all, "a votre santé" Martin, and thanks to all the ones handing us info on Furtwängler. I just received the CD with the live performance of Otmar...
Josh, hi, first of all. Secondly, I am of the minority opinion that the 1887 version of the 8th is the most satisfying; here, Nowak did us a real service by...
There is an article by Benjamin Korstvedt on the 1888 4th in the March 2006 issue of The Bruckner Journal. A key sentence reads: "Recent research into the...

I have just listened to the 1 subject fugues from the work for the first time. It is probably the most beautiful example of pure music. A thought struck me...
Man I would have liked to have been there! There is a part in the adagio that reminds me of Mahler's 9th adagio. I can tell Mahler was influenced particularly...
Well, I would love to have been there listening to the performance, but I wouldn't like to have lived by then! The Ninth is really something, my Eight...

I have just heard the Wildner 9th w/finale. I must say it really complements the whole work, and what Ben says in the liner notes is noteworthy, "Bruckner...
No I haven't, the only Davies recording I have heard is the 1874 4th which is done quite well. Is the Davies 1887 8th well worth hearing? Ralph Steinberg...
