I don't know if it will have the "right tone" though - you know, I didn't think this was possible, but I think you are getting even fussier about recordings and orchestral sound as time goes by!!

Of course I’m getting fussier! Sound is not “orchestral sound” but “my sound”. I mean the sound that I hear and therefore why I should not demand to hear more and more satisfactory Sound. Sound has own esthetic value and why we have to automatically dismiss that esthetic value juts because we do not deal with live sound but with sound committed to recording media? Particularly it would be shame to do with Bruckner.

There is not a lot of musical events going on in Bruckner and Bruckner’s Sound is more monochromic, foggy tonal infliction where there is a not a lot of micro-tones but there is a macro-tone. It is not Mahler with “Audio Music” here any no-tone challenged orchestra can play Mahler’s gipsy yodeling very effectually (with slight starching up it would be courtesy to Nanut orchestra :-). Anyhow, I would like to receive that macro-tone in the recording per manses. If not then who the hell need those expensive high end audio boxes? To “get” a given interpretation I do not need any “big playback” and a table boom-box radio is absolutely sufficient…
