Hi Gert Is there an English trnslation available for Brucknerhaus. I could not see one. Best Alan.--- In antonbrucknerclub@yahoogroups.com, "Gert Van Gelder" ...
Alan, I have only one Sir John recording. It is his 1964 recording with the Halle orchestra of the 3rd, it also includes the Tannhauser overture- Venusberg...
Should be performed more often. Naito's performance is superb. That timpanist sure knows how to play those drums. The scherzo is perhaps the most boisterous...
Alan, I have his BBC 8th, but I haven't listened to it in a long time. I remember having the impression that it was a little out of control, unsubtle, with...
Hi Alan, I received the music-program 2006-2007 from Brucknerhaus in german, free of charge. I don't know if it is available in other languages. The magazine...
Still have to find out myself, Alan. The only Barbirolli recording I own is the beautiful symphony 3 and Concerto for Violin and Orchestra of Sir Arnold Bax...
I agree, it is outstanding, I have Naito's recording and I enjoy it a lot. And that shows me another issue. Perhaps, the version of the Eighth that Haas was...
Naito's for the first three movements, and Inbal's for the Finale. I plan to tamper a little the sound of the Finale using a computer program called ...
I have received the poster, which looks fine, with good quality. I'd just like the author and instigator to discuss the topic ;-) Regards, Jorge ... I have...
It is easy to burn such a CD, but the different volume level is a problem. Fixing it thru software will ruin dynamics (crucial in Bruckner music), so finding...
Juan, that's a brilliant idea! When I first heard the Naito I felt that the 1890 (pure Nowak) finale somehow didn't quite fit ideally with the 1888 adagio. I...
Dear friends: Another important issue is that the Finale of 1887 is the *only* movement of the version of 1887 that it is orchestrated for the *same* orchestra...
I attended the concert last Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It began with Wagner's Prelude and Death of Isolde's Love from "Tristan", which featured a...
Wow, someone could sleep through the 9th?! Other than that Kurt, you are quite fortunate to have been there. I look foward to the performance release...
Dear Juan, I have never heard Eliahu Inbal's 1887 version of Bruckner 8. How do you compare the 'impact' of the most famous fff of the orchestra near the end...
Next thing happened was we ordered a few more beers ... Hahah...I like that Gert, I too love European beer, when in Austria do as the Austrians, basically...
I think that Tintner's recording of the 1887 Eighth is better than Inbal's, but Inbal's was the first ever recording of it, so I am very grateful to him. ...
Alan, Alan, Just listened to Barbirolli's live (Royal Festival Hall) BBC 8th. It dates from 1970, two months before his deth from a heart attack. It is an...
Dear Josh, When you visit Austria, also try Sachertorte, wich is fine backery from the austrians. I first consumed it the time I visited 'Hundertwasserhaus' in...
Snoring in bad enough! Not to gild the lily, but some fifty years ago I attended a concert in Providence, Rhode Island [my hometown], where a pair of elderly...
That reminds me of Henry Fogel’s great story about the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As I recall it, the orchestra invited a group of major donors to a...
Especially during the Scherzo? Well, I suppose the best the music is the more you forget the whole world, and it might happen, moreover with ageing people,...
Most definitely Gert, my father lives in Hungary so hopefully I get to travel with him, as he is familiar with Austria. I love good bakery's...reminds me of...
"Bruckner's Symphony No. 6 in A Major is one of the least played of his symphonies, but it may, in fact, be the most attractive. High drama (in brass and...
"Yet its appeal is a lyricism and intimacy one usually doesn't associate with the Austrian composer." Perhaps, this writer would do well to actually LISTEN to...
That's true, Josh. And don't forget to visit Vienna's citypark, where you will see a Bruckner bust ... and Figarohaus where Mozart lived a while ... and...
Hi all, I would like to repeat a joke I posted last year : Karajan steps into a taxi. Taxi driver asks: 'where to ?' Karajan replies: 'doesn't really matter,...
