Jim, Brian, the Bruckner is a treasure. Talk about jaw dropping sonics. Whew! I am indeed blessed to have it. I don’t buy many fancy records but this, after Beethoven, is most important music to me. I actually like that it doesn’t really have a melody. The harmonics are Just transcendent.
I’d been listening to a lot of Bruckner earlier this year, esp the 7th and the 8th. I have a Haitink conducted cycle (pretty good itself). Don’t remember if I saw the Presto Classical review or M. Fremer’s piece first but both got me interested. The BP web site (and The BP label) is fantastic. It was a little expensive but there is nothing like the sound of this album.
