Bruckner 1896 - Thanks very much indeed for your survey of great (slow) 6ths - and yes, the Adler one is a great performance of an interesting version. <br>But...
Gramophone Magazine gave the EMI Celibidache 6th a very good review (along with his 4th). I think the review is at www.gramophone.co.uk. It's one of the few...
By way of introduction, problems my wife and I are having using Yahoo! Clubs under different screen names from the same computer have led to the demise of ...
I got Jochum's cycle with the Staatskapelle Dresden the day before yesterday. I must say, there are some DANG good performances. I didn't have any performances...
Jochum was one of the most sympathetic conductors of Bruckner's music, a deeply religious man who shared Bruckner's ethos perhaps better than most other ...
Born-again Bruckner 1824 - thank goodness in the nick of time a message that has my full agreement, for your previous effort crediting one Colin with ...
One Jochum is greater than two Colins plus one Lorin, by my own idiosyncratic calculations! Sir Colin Davis is better with Berlioz than Bruckner, Colin Wilson...
Sorry to be referring to myself, but since the correct identity of "Canadianbucko" is Colin R. Wrubleski, perhaps your post should read Jochum,<br>3 Colin's,...
While I have my preferences in the way of conductors and performances, I have this nightmare scenario in which I am rabidly denouncing a certain conductor or...
Colin Wilson is a writer in the UK, born 1931 Self-educated, he published a book in 1956 that gripped many of us adolescents in the 60s called 'The Outsider' ...
The Skrowaczewski cycle is not yet complete, as the Student Symphony has yet to be released. Lack of North American distribution has forced me to get the last...
I should have checked the Arte Nova website before making the previous posting, as according to the website the complete 12-disc set of the 11 Bruckner ...
Bruckner 1824 - Interested in your opinions? I hang upon your every word, and agree with most of them! (give or take the odd Colin which gives me the ...
Bruckner 1824 - These messages are tumbling over one another. So I hadn't read your update on the Skrowaczewski cycle release when I wrote my last. And ...
Here are Colin Wilson's observations about Bruckner's music and the performances of it, as found on pages 31 & 32 of my copy of THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE (Los...
In reference to the inquiry about the contents of the Rozhdestvensky Bruckner cycle, reissued in Japan on the BMG/Melodiya label, here are the discs as listed...
Bruckner 1828 - I suppose the most extraordinary thing about the Colin Wilson novel is that it mentions Bruckner at all. How many novels are there that mention...
Bruckner's conception of the symphonic concert mass, as exemplified by the Masses in D, E and F-minor, have an interesting precendent: Beehoven's Mass in C. I...
Actually, there is a whole novel about Bruckner: MUSIC FOR GOD by Theresa Weiser (Philosophical Library, 1951.) I don't think that it is very good, but others ...
Considering the brevity of the novel, I doubt if much research was necessary, since it is more of a sentimental piece than anything else. If you have read it, ...
I have been and am trying to get as many performances as I can of B's symphonies. I was wondering, if you were stranded on a desert island and could only have...
My apologies for not mentioning this before: Furtwaengler's essay on Bruckner was written in 1939. I have never seen a complete translation of it, only exerpts...
I will try to dig up a reference to it from the bibliography of an English-language Bruckner biography, but since there are so many more Bruckner studies auf ...
I did not find the reference I was seeking, but coincidentally enough the same day I was looking for this reference I received a letter from a BRUCKNER JOURNAL...
