  • Re: New topic: which Bruckner boxes should be =?UTF-8?B?YXZvaWRlZD8=?=

    If all Bruckner boxes are good by default, there wouldn't be any bad
    Bruckner boxes to avoid.

    Is the dead, recently deceased conductor a former Concertgebouw icon?

    I don't have any complete Bruckner collections. I have the Tahra box
    with Jochum conducting 5 thru 7 with the RCO. I like Haitink's later
    live recordings, particularly the 6th in Dresden on Profil. I used to
    like Wand, but got a little tired of his style, esp. by the time he got
    to redo everything again in Berlin.

    I like conductors who get the best out of those lovely string tuttis in Bruckner.

    There is a bunch of live performances by the Concertgebouw on youtube,
    with an eighty plus Eugen Jochum. Usually I'm not that hot about very
    old sit-down conductors doing Bruckner, but these performances have an
    amazing vitality and energy, such as in this Seventh. And it's from a
    concert on an Asian tour!

    The story was Jochum said: "Tomorrow night we'll go slower yet!" But A
    it isn't that slow end B it's not 'tired' slow.

    It's also fun to see all those familiar faces, from before the CO became
    R. Viktor Libermann and Johan Kracht at the first desk violins. Across
    the stage Peter Masseurs on trumpet. Matthias Maurer on alto.

    More renowned old time mermbers: Werner Herbers on oboe; a very young
    Jacob Slagter on Wagner horn; behind him, on first horn the beautiful
    Julia Studebaker, the first female horn soloist in any European
    orchestra in the Seventies. Labordus on timps.
