The first one is Wand’s live recording with Berlin in 1999. It was Bruckner Seventh. I heard a few Wand’s Bruckner Seventh and I do not like any of them. This one from 1999 is the best Wand with Bruckner 7, however it does not rises to the pantheon of the greatest Bruckner 7. The sound of this recording is quite horrible. If it was not Wand’s Bruckner I would probably trash this CD, even I paid for it $40. Partially the sound is bad due to the idiots from BMG Japan re-master the recordings from original source in 192K. They use Sound Works K2, the industry leading tool and this crap destroys Sound like a nuclear bomb. It is unfortunate as this Wand’s Seventh is so bad… |
