Harnoncourt Bruckner 7

[Kevin]

Notunlike The Highlander, the God of Abraham, and any number divided by itself, there can be only one, right? Surely in this crowded field, there has to be a best of the bunch, a single force to lead us down the path to Bruckner enlightenment above all others? But who?

If only that narrowed our search significantly. That still leaves an incredibly crowded field: Wilhelm Furtwangler, Sergiu Celibidache, Gunter Wand, Eugen Jochum, Carl Schuricht, Takashi Asahina, Georg Tintner, Herbert von Karajan, Klaus Tennstedt, Otto Klemperer, Eduard van Beinum, and probably more.

Karajan and Jochum are allways respectable. Wand is sometimes gorgeous,but not in adagios. Tintner,likewise. Baremboim ,never. Furtwangler sounds too old in accoustic shape.For me, the biggest champion is Haitink , who keeps organic tissue without abrasive brass

New cycles venzago the best in my opinion. The most radical view but stoll good bruckner nontheless. I enjoyed his cycle enormous.

On a basos of bruckner 3 dresden girst version nezet seguin. Amazing performance

Furtwangler jochum schuricht asahina van beinum klemperer matacic guilini karajan and haitink concertgebouw are all great bruckner conductors

Wand has good performances but is bit mainstream. His koln cycle still his best.

Obsessives should acquaint themselves with the articles and discography at abruckner.com, the home of The Bruckner Archive, The Bruckner Society of America, and an extensive Bruckner discography. You may want to consider the Bruckner Bobblehead. The autograph manuscripts can be inspected, and the score of at least one edition, the Conclusive Revised Edition from 2012, can be purchased.

The Conclusive Revised Edition ought to find its place. I suspect there remains further balancing to do. I expect more pregnant silences (SPCM does gradually grow more comfortable with simplicity and rests), however the torrential string filigree in triplet rhythms is commonly hard to appreciate.
