In the Thread: ... and some Bruckner buzz
Post Subject: Not Something I Do, Myself...Posted by Paul S on: 2/13/2025
Steve, I have a few old classical cycles that I bought cheap, in my youth. That was MANY years ago, and I own zero Bruckner cycles. I am not referring anyone to this video in order to encourage anyone to choose Bruckner cycles to buy, rather I hope people will listen to Hurwitz closely enough to understand that he is actually saying that the best performances are where one finds them, and further that one tends NOT to find more than 1 or 2 great preformances in any cycle/set. There might be people who "get" Bruckner right away, but I expect most people will have to spend some time developing their personal sense of what's going on and what matters in a given Bruckner performance before they can make heads or tails of it.
Best regards,
