Bruckner: From the Archives, Vol. 6
No matter how many Bruckner recordings you own, this series should be in your collection. There are some truly insightful performances here. And a few that made me hear these very familiar works in new ways.
Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 5 - Another Noteworthy Release
The penultimate volume in this series continues to surprise and illuminate. All recordings come from the archives of the Bruckner Society of America. Audio
Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 4 Offers Stylistic Contrasts
Lani Spahr's superb restorations do much service to the music. He brings out the inherent qualities of these recordings. And he does so without unnaturally "enhancing the sound."
Bruckner From the Archives, Vol. 3 - More, please
Another fine addition to this series. Looking forward to volume 4.
Bruckner From the Archives Volume 2 Offers New Revelations
The two volumes present a variety of ensembles -- from a variety of decades. And all unfamiliar performances. These multiple approaches make the listener reassess Bruckner's music. Even music they've heard hundreds of times over.
Bruckner From the Archives, Volume 1 - A Remarkable Series
Kudos go to Lani Spahr, responsible for the audio restoration and remastering. The recordings range from 1944 to 1974. Spahr does a great job bringing these tracks close to the same sound.
Bruckner Chamber Music Worth a Listen
For many, Bruckner = symphonies. But this release tweaks that equation. Bruckner > just symphonies.
Manfred Honeck and Pittsburgh Symphony's sterling Bruckner 9
Even if you are not a lover of Bruckner’s music, you will be after hearing this recording
