After almost 2 years and when this blog is on the verge of oblivion, I can post something new at last.

I've caught up with the new Bruckner recordings, and am really surprised to look back on such a sparse output in the past couple of years.

Herbert Blomstedt has emerged as the new Brucknerian, thanks to his recordings on Querstand. I'm really impressed by his CDs. He has grown from his Denon years in 1980-1981, through his Decca years in the 1990's, to a new height lately with his performance with the Gewandhaus Orchestra.

  1. i bought his two dennon recordings by accident. the 4th and the 7th. "grown from his Denon years " i have the same feeling with you,for his 7th is fine ,but a little unnature. at 1st movment ,when the feeling of ending is getting stronger and stronger ,his performance does not handle it well. in contrast ,the recent performance of the 7th with bamberg so in 2009 is incredibly perfect (for me). bad english again^^
