Post Subject: Thanks Romy! - and a comment on Asahina 1975Posted by JANDL100 on: 9/27/2007
Thanks for the compliment Romy - nice forum site you have here !!
Yes, you really must hear the Tintner 7th - a very special performance, not just the opening. If I could only keep two 7ths I think it would be the Matacic 1967 & the Tintner.
Asahina's 1975 Bruckner 7th is probably at the bottom of the list of my faves. But still very good - quite atmospheric, but a bit lacking in character. My fave Asahina performance I have heard is an amazing Shostakovich 5th - really, really deeply felt. I also have all 4 Brahms syms on DVD with Asahina with the Osaka PO - available from an eBay seller & cheap too.
