Thanks Neil for these in depth reviews! Were it not for this group the Bruckner performances of the Japanese conductors and orchestras may have never reached...
A Few Comments In Response: A few comments in response I thought of your remarks when watching the New Year's Day concert from Vienna - for here indeed was ...
Thanks, Neil, for your tribute to Takashi Asahina. He was truly one of the greatest Bruckner conductors of all time. I happened to live in Honolulu when...
Music is by very nature abstract, prehaps a term you might be more generous towards is 'absolute' or 'concrete'; lacking the 'program music' qualities of Liszt...

Hi, Tamino seems to be a very interesting forum, but I cannot understand German. On the same lines, I do not see what is the point of posting in English. So...

Just a note: my Message #6754 was posted before your message #6753 but it showed up later. I tried to subscribe Tamino, but it's a lost cause; I can't...

Clovis Thanks for your reply I could say that the reverse is also true.... Think of the largest and most programmatic piece in he Austrian tradition: Ein...
I have had the most difficulty in experiencing Richard Strauss. I'm must admit 'A Hero's Life' is wonderful. My problem is that Strauss seems more interested...
Thanks for the list of Bruckner successors. I've listened to a number of Stenhammer's works on the Naxos Club and look forward to acquiring the Wetz...
Denis, thanks for your comments. It must have been quite an experience to see that concert! I agree: Bruckner's music works best when the conductor builds...
Like you, Neil, I had to draw the line for myself about acquiring more of the Asahina recordings. Since he made three complete cycles of the Bruckner...
I am in wholehearted agreement with you, Clovis. "The more abstract the better." Bruckner's symphonies definitely fall into that category. Of course, the...
Just to clarify some information, There are three recordings of Asahina performing the Symphony in D Minor - one in the JVC set, a recent release on Fontec and...
Yes Indeed, which is why the designation of Bruckner as a simple-minded yodel seems to ring untrue to reality. Bruckner's artistic constructions definitely...
Dear Gert, I was surprised to find a very recent answer of yours to my old, almost forgotten message concerning Hanslick in which I pointed out that he could...
Happy New Year to you all. Thanks Neil for your reviews of Asahina. I had never heard of him before joining this group and still to this date have never heard...

Dave, I'd just keep checking on eBay. A set was available last month for under $200 and I see another now, but the price being asked is rather steep ($250)....
Denis, That's interesting to hear from both you and John about the multiple Jean Jean sets. As John mentions, Asahina recorded "0" three times (but the JVC is...
Their has been much discussion on this form concerning Asahina, Furwangler, and Horenstein leading from the bass upwards. It is in my view that all symphonic...
Dear Clovis, The 2-CD set from Music and Arts Programs of America, Richard Strauss conducting his tone poems, aswell as the two sets from Preiser Records are...
I'm glad you enjoy them Gert. My favorite section of 'Alpine' is the build up to the storm, though the storm itself....."Anyone have any ear-plugs?" Clovis ...
