The Blomstedt with Berlin Philharmonic might be fun but
it will be just Berlin Philharmonic hall. The hall is good for Mozart or Mahler
but I feel that I need larger and “wetter” space for Bruckner. If you have a chance then buy yourself Roberto
Paternostro’s whole set of Bruckner symphonies with Wurttemberg
Philharmonic from 2009. It might not be the best overall interpretation but
they recorded I think in Lubeck Cathedral with spectacular sound decay, so
the listening is a pure pleasure.
BTW, the same Lubeck has a very nice organ
that is a good hands it can do amassing things. My absolutely favorite Bach’s Organ
performance is the Fuga from Organ Concerto in D minor that Bach took after Vivaldi's
Concerto. Many people did it but Simon Preston did it in Lubeck and the result
it beyond amassing. His play of the work is such a phenomenal benchmark when
the stars aligned and when the interpretation of Bach just could not be better.
In my mind the play sited very deeply in a pantheon the best performing events
ever. I herd it 47328975 times and honestly
never get it enough. To a degree, I tune my playback to play this Fuga and for
a while it is the very first music that I play to my listening room’s visitors.
If a visitor “do not get it” then I begin
to play to them a Ritchie Blackmore’s Stargazer and inform my wife
that it will be another wasted listening session.
