In Reply to: Grandmaphone chose Walter's CSO Bruckner 4th as "pick of the bunch" posted by jdaniel on April 18, 2007 at 23:08:49:
I hesitate to say anything about Bruckner symphonies here given the flame wars I've seen in the past, but - if you prefer Jochum to Walter, why do you care what Gramophone or anyone else says? I have the complete Jochum set, and though it's good, I've never understood why it's so highly rated by critics. Of the dusty old mono boys, I've always very much liked van Beinum's Bruckner, but with all the records you seem to have, I'm sure you've heard a good selection of Bruckner, and I don't mean to imply you need any guidance from anyone, including me. ;-)
