In Reply to: RE: Bruckner beckons, but I need some advice... posted by Doktor Brahms on January 04, 2017 at 07:38:29
A pricey option, to be sure, but very highly regarded in American Record Guide's most recent Bruckner overview.
One more question: I'm using Spotify to compare various recordings of the Bruckner symphonies, although that tells me relatively little about recording quality (because of the limitations of my computer speakers). I've been using the Scherzo of the 8th Symphony as a reference point for various recordings. Is there a likelier candidate for such comparisons?
Thanks for the responses so far, BTW.

I like the Camerata set, but it's definitely not going to solve the dynamic range problem.

It is the overall best engineered and recorded Bruckner set in 2-channel stereo. All performances are at least very fine, and a couple of them -- 5 and 9 -- are among the best anywhere. The 9th is a four-movement performance with the SMPC 1992 finale.
