In the Thread: If you are in Bruckner: Lovro von Matacic
Post Subject: Von Matacic - yes, a great conductorPosted by JANDL100 on: 9/27/2007
I have only a few of his recordings, but they are all wonderful.. His Bruckner is quite wonderful.
I have his recordings of Beethoven 7th & 2nd symphonies, both echt-Beethoven, and his Bruckner takes pride of place in my collection - I have the following von Matacic Bruckner recordings on CD ...
9th with Czech PO
8th with NHK SO
8th with Prague RSO
7th with Slovene PO 1983 - his very last recording :-(
7th with VSO 1979
7th with Czech PO 1967
5th with Czech PO 1973
4th with Philharmonia O 1955 - mono, but who cares! - it's magnificent!
3rd with Philharmonia O - oh dear, a disaster, a real disappointment. I'd love to hear a different Matacic performance, it's one of my favourite symphonies!
