Notes & Reviews	Back to Top

There's no question that the late Georg Tintner was a great Brucknerian, even if some of his textual decisions (such as his preference for the patently inferior first version of the Eighth Symphony) necessarily make this set one to own alongside other, more traditional approaches. On the other hand, put this together with Skowaczewski's Arte Nova set, also at budget price, and you can have two superb, hugely different Bruckner cycles for a very reasonable price. And whether or not you agree with all of Tintner's decisions with respect to editions, there's no question that he justifies his choices by delivering the best performance available of the alternative in question. This is true of the Eighth, and even more so of his astonishing Third, one of the very greatest Bruckner performances ever committed to disc. Also noteworthy: superb versions of the Seventh, Fourth, First, and the two early works: "0" and "00". The orchestras involved aren't traditional "Bruckner orchestras" either, and so lack that characteristic rich string sound and dark-toned brass--but even this contributes rather than detracts from Tintner's distinctive vision, and the playing is never less than up to Bruckner's demands. Sonically, these are also some of Naxos' finest efforts, making this box an essential purchase for anyone who loves Bruckner and who missed these performances the first time around. --David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com
