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...

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...

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. ...
