Tintner's is quite possibly my favourite opening of the 7th - hushed, mysterious, tremulous and Oh, so atmospheric.  Wonderful sound quality too!

The opening of the Buckner 7th is a separate subject all-together. It is so great that it itself might compared in own greatness with the greatness of the entire symphony. It is like the orchestral introduction of the Rach’s Second Concerto – a few notes are enough to understand if it will be juts a concert of the Event. Ironically in those few opening notes of Buckner 7th concentrated more information about audio then in a life subscription of Absolute Sound magazine.

I never heard the Tintner’s opening, in fact I never heard Tintner’s 7th. With such a monumental and popular works as Buckner 7th is uselessly our favorite are the one that refer us to some live experiences that we had “living” with Buckner 7th.  Toward to this end the Czech Philharmonic lead by Von Matacic in 1967 is my absolutely the “most important” and if I might say so “sensational”. In fact I sometimes prefer to skip it during the “routine listening”….

Interesting that you mentioned Asahina. I got his recoding from 90s recently and I am not a big fun of them. In fact lately I begin to hate them. I heard that his performances from 70s were much more interesting… Is it so?
