Post Subject: Bruckner’s colors.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/5/2011

I do not think that anybody has anything against the 4^th, it is the most popular his work, all two of them. What interest me in your comment is that you find more monochrome and subdued version as something that deeper touch your soul. Is it just because Wand read/play the 4^th differently during his last recording with NDR or you find it more communicative because the monochrome qualities? To me it is very opposite, I would like Bruckner to be lit with all imaginary orchestral colors; of cause the Bruckner’s colors not the Rimski-Korsakov gipsy colors. To do it I need a good German orchestra – they can do it. You however feel that subdued tonal deficiency is advantageous? Is it a general tendency that you are looking for? Is it tendency you feel better only for Bruckner’s Romantic symphony? Is it a tendency you feel work out only for this specific Wand interpretation? If the last then would it be possible that you got touched with something else in what Wand did but the monochrome characteristic is the only thing the you played attention?
