Post Subject: There is no good LP of Bruckner 7 that I know.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/13/2014

I do not know any “interesting” LP of Bruckner 7. In my view Solti was not a good conductor of Bruckner. He did Bruckner artificially impressive and imposingly puffy, in my view they are big now ways to play Bruckner. For sure Bruckner would be “effectively” orchestrated by Solti and I might see some attraction in it but ultimately when I want not “orchestral music” but Bruckner sound I do not go for Solti. I still do not deny that this recording with Vienna was OK. The last time I was listening Solti with Vienna doing B7 was 2 years back. We were staying in St. John’s Westin Resort and one nigh we find ourselves at wonderfully open pool and we had Amy’s Phone (with 64G of music) and Bose SoundDeck. We were laying somewhere between poll and ocean fully relaxed and I was puffing some very tasty cigar sending the smoke to the stars. I said “Kitty, now I want B7”. So, we near max out the SoundDeck and blasted Solti’s adagio throughout the whole resort. Boy, I am sure it was a lot of people out there who felt that we were assholes…. I need to tell you: the Caribbean night sky, a good cigar, Bruckner and a hand of a friend whose hand pulsates counting the Bruckner beat makes all experience very special….
