This is the best interpretation I heard of this symphony thus far. Thank you very much. It was not before last year that I discovered the unique greatness of Bruckner. Since then, I almost listen to nothing else anymore.
ma che bella esecuzione! un suono ...cameristico? Quello di cui ha bisogno Bruckner per apprezzarne le finezze armoniche e contrappuntistiche ....e il grande cuore! Grazie
Wow!! Why cant we hear this symphony ( and the 3rd ) more in the concert halls? They are both musical gems. About time we had a little less Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.. Bruckner should and must be heard more. His symphonies are masterpieces of construction with adagios that surely must have been put in his head by angels sent from Heaven!
This one always strikes me as where Bruckner becomes unmistakably "Bruckner". A very nice performance here and the look of the orchestra, with the black shirts and red ties on the men, is striking.
