I'm glad the discs have arrived OK.  The Nanut Eroica is good - the Bruckner 8 is GREAT.  You must listen to it soon!

Jerry, I was intentionally slow with Nanut’s Bruckner 8. I of course have listened it now and multiple times… I do not know… I do not get it. The Nanut’s orchestra was GREAT with Mahler 6, which is more or less audio-music but for Bruckner it needed something else, something else that in my view they do not have. I generally am is not a huge fun of Bruckner 8 as it never was played to me with “greatness” … well, unil early this week. Try to found the Carl Schuricht leading Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra with Bruckner 8 (1890 Version). It is available on EMI on Angel and might be available on CD. This is a totally different level of Bruckner 8, in my view.
