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:
So bad we considered it a party disc back in my conservatory days.
Follow Ups:
You played Bruckner at your parties?? Gotta love the conservatory crowds.I'd have never dared. Even at its extreme I kept it at the level of carefully considered light Perlman tracks or the New Swingle Singers' doing Jazz Sebastian Bach. Regardless, my party CDs were frequently adapted for use as an ashtray instead. (Though they never vomited into my amplifier, which apparently can happen, reading from a past posting here.)
Never heard Barenboim in Bruckner but the newer BPO cycle seems universally and uniformly and in all respects praised by basically everyone.
That horrible 4th was for laughing at. When we got serious we put on (and tried to rhythmically parse) Zappa and Mahavishnu. ;-)
You thought the 4th was, like, on the lighter side? Nice thinking; I bet the girls appreciated. But much better than the Kreisler bonbons at any rate.Today I'm doing exclusively the Red Army Choir and Finnish tango. Easier to parse, too.
