In Reply to: Re: 2nd Symphony ... the slow mov't is lovely and one of the few times in which Bruckner IMHO isn't trying posted by jdaniel@jps.net on April 14, 2016 at 08:22:18:
And if it's the Linz, was it Linz/Haas or Linz/Nowak. I guess there's even a "Ur-Linz" version (edited by Carragan) available now. I guess if you were listening to Jochum, it must have been Linz/Nowak?I haven't heard the Carragan version, but of the other Linz versions, I like them both, and I like my Chailly recording of the Vienna version too. But for the Linz version, I've always enjoyed the 1965 Neumann/LGO Teldec recording (Linz/Haas) for its freshness and discipline. Some reviewers at the time noted that Neumann imposed a noticeable degree of discipline on the LGO, although his personality seemed more that of a kindly, Bruno-Walter-type figure. He was very prolific as a recording artist, and not all of his recorded performances are successful - but I think he shows his best sides often enough on his recordings to be worthwhile investigating, no matter what the repertoire. I understand there's a pirate recording floating around somewhere of the Brahms Fourth with Neumann and the VPO - I'd love to hear it, assuming it was decently captured.
The second album cover is for you vinyl junkies - and you know who you are!BTW, note to the OP: www.abruckner.com is your friend (live link below).
