Has anyone ever heard of a song for chorus, piano, and tenor by Bruckner? It is called "Mitternacht" and has a text by one J. Mendelssohn (who is who ...
Dear Yoel, "Mitternacht" does exist; it is one of the songs Bruckner wrote for male voices, in this case for 4 voice-chorus, tenor solo and piano obligato. He...
Hi, it's me again; I've just realized that you could get quite a lot of information about Joseph Mendelssohn if you're able to read German and if you have...
Thank you, Denis. I absolutely do. I listen to Bruckner 2 of it right now, and the whole package seems brand new, not bad for a second hand CD set. Gert ... ...
He was born 9-10 (or 10-4) 1817 in Jever (in the north-west of Germany), died 4-4-1856 in Hamburg, where he spent most of his life. He was not related to the...
... Thank you very much, Hartwig, for this interesting information. Before receiving this private recording with the great tenor Josef Traxel (whose Josef is...
... Dear Hartwig and All, I have uploaded the two songs I have from that concert. http://rapidshare.com/files/19102664/Traxel61Sch-Bru.zip The are resp. Franz...
Yoel, I'm glad that my information seems to have been useful or at least interesting for you. - Your guess that the journalist Joseph Mendelssohn remained true...
Dear all, Tonight I had the tremendous blessing and honour to hear live Stainslaw Skrowaczewski with the Florida Orchestra conducting his Concerto for...
Hello, Here is the review in today's paper for Ingo Metzmacher's performance of Bruckner's 6th with the Boston Symphony. I am hearing the concert on Tuesday...
Have a great time and let us know how it went! Josh ... http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2007/03/03/with_metzmac her_theres_a_lot_to_enjoy/...
This is in reply to Yoël Arbeitman's posting... Moses Mendelssohn had one brother whose descendants remained Jews. I presume Joseph Mendelssohn was one. I...
What an experience, Josh! You clearly realize that you've had an experience of a lifetime, to get to see such a musician perform and even talk with him!...
Being fortunate enough to live in Western Europe (I have already lived in Africa), I've already attended live concerts with world's cream of the cream. Once...
Dear Yoel, that's a great idea of yours to upload the song - I'm very curious about it; unfortunately I'm so ill-equipped hardware- and software- wise that I'd...
When and where did you see the B 3rd Jorge and what did you think of Skrow's conducting style? Jorge F <jorge_salema@...> wrote: Being fortunate enough...

I second to that. Congratulations, Josh. It is always a great experience if you see a chance of conversating with such a great personality. Josh my dear, you...
I've noticed not only in the Haitink boxset's of Bruckner and Mahler that the bass is inadequet. Remastering with modern engineering to SACD should probably...
Haitink is on record as not liking Mahler's 8th. It is too bad he gave in to the pressure to record a work he didn't like, just to be able to have a "complete"...
I believe Haitink was still establishing his reputation and, as many others, conducted what the people wanted, so to speak. I also simply do not believe you....
Hi Martin, It is very hard to differentiate Haas and Nowak in the B6. Going from what he used in his other recordings, I would guess that Sinopoli used the...
Hello, I heard the last in the cycle of performances of Bruckner's 6th conducted by Ingo Metzmacher with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was a very...
Thanks for that very detailed and insightful review! It sounds like Metzmacher is on a learning curve with respect to Bruckner's music. The 5th he did in...
Hi, I cannot see how a different format transfer itself can solve whatever you mean by "inadequate bass". I mean that if there's something wrong in the tape it...
I'm not an expert in this, but "equalization" can be a factor in adequate or inadequate bass. For the pressing of vinyl phonograph records, the frequency...
Dear Mr. Neil Schore, You should try and hear Gunter Wand NDRSO (Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra) in Bruckner 5th. Never in all my days have I heard such rich...
