Wow! - those are some SLOW timings!

I'd read some reviews indicating the tempos were slow in this new performance, but I just re-checked my Celibidache/Munich (EMI) recording and Ballot even manages to out-slow Celibidache in two of the four movements (second and fourth, although just by a few seconds in the fourth) - I would never have thought this kind of accomplishment would even be possible! ;-)

I've also read that the echo-ey acoustics of St. Florian influenced Ballot's tempo choices. In a previous discussion, we noted that this is a minimally microphoned recording (one omni for each of the five channels), so that's pretty exciting for me and I do plan to acquire this release soon. (I've been so busy getting my CD's onto computer - it's taking almost all of my free time because of all the meta info acquisition and listening checks involved.) Also, I can't listen on Spotify right now since my Facebook/Spotify account was hacked and I'm giving it some time before I re-enroll.

It's too bad that a blu-ray was not made of this performance - from the looks of that still photo on the back, it appears as if the Ober�sterreichisches Jugendsinfonieorchester (the "O� JSO", as some folks fondly call it!) has some babes within its ranks. Babes and Bruckner - does it get any better than that? ;-) In fact, let's post another pic of them:
