The recording of the Fourth had a very good transfer in the Dutton disc and partly because of this reason I have no urgency to acquire this defective set at this moment.<br />Best,<br />HoraceHorace Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550103201743182808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047330152094708972.post-33243090539434922562012-03-02T19:12:13.268+08:002012-03-02T19:12:13.268+08:00A word of warning: I see from John Berky's sit...A word of warning: I see from John Berky's site that one of the Bohm symphonies has had a few minutes edited out (accidentally?) - which is a pity, especially as I was really looking forward to buying this set!

Your listening experience is another reason (or excuse?) for me to acquire this set. It has been released in the UK, and according to Amazon, it'll be available by the end of February in the US.<br />Warm regards,<br />HoraceHorace Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550103201743182808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047330152094708972.post-72461335563693262972012-02-11T06:58:34.515+08:002012-02-11T06:58:34.515+08:00Hi,

If what I'm hearing is actually the recording it purports to be, the sonic, for 1936, is astonishing; it almost sounds current! Do you know the street date for this release?<br /><br />Best,<br />Gordon ThomasGordon Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207801575933000095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047330152094708972.post-3797336844021447262012-02-04T22:26:33.721+08:002012-02-04T22:26:33.721+08:00Hi Sheerbol,

Your idea of an overview post is very good and I'll try to do one when I have enough time. However, I need to bear in mind that there are many excellent articles introducing Bruckner's music, in print or on the web, already :)<br /><br />Warm regards,<br /><br />HoraceHorace Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550103201743182808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047330152094708972.post-79544897278380535692012-02-03T01:15:08.447+08:002012-02-03T01:15:08.447+08:00Hi,
this is my first time at this blog and I'...Hi,<br /><br />this is my first time at this blog and I'm amazed at the detailed and comprehensive coverage of Bruckner CDs.<br /><br />I haven't read all the posts, but as a first time visitor, I felt the lack of an overview post or two, perhaps advising non-Bruckner fans how they might approach him better. Maybe you've written about that already, then maybe a category like that?<br /><br />Otherwise the post are excellent, especially if one already is a Bruckner fan.<br /><br />I'm not particularly. He always seems to be included without question among the greats, while other symphonists are left out.<br /><br />I think I've always listened to him for the big sound really. When I was younger I really liked the first movement of the Sixth. And of course I've been exposed to the 4th quite alot.<br /><br />What I am worried about is that I'm a Shostakovich fan, and my intuition always was that Bruckner was always too much of a different sound, so that being a fan of the two would be incompatible, ha, ha.<br /><br />Anyhow, I hope that doesn't all sound like a criticism, and in any case, it's written in a constructive spirit.<br /><br />Overall though the blog is great and I'll probably re-read a few of the entries too as the the writing is very enjoyable too.<br /><br />Cheers!sheerbolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311289513203462650noreply@blogger.com
