In the Thread: A “pocket version” of Bruckner.
Post Subject: A “pocket version” of Bruckner.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 11/30/2017
Last week Amy and I went to listen BSO under Andris Nelsons to play Bruckner 4. It was OK concert. BSO is not really Bruckner-type ensemble and Nelsons is too young to be “interesting” Bruckner interpreter. Still, there were some good moments there and there. However, I feel that there is bigger fish to fry. Listening a lot of Bruckner and loving his work I more and more incline to the idea that no matter how good interpretation was but if it played in a typical concert hall then it is still just a pocket version of Bruckner. To get Bruckner in the whole glory you need a LARGE concert whole with very slow decay. A typical Concertgebouw or Musikverein size concert holes just do not deliver the seriousness and monumentalizm to Bruckner that his music is calling for.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
