Bruckner sym8 900212

Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 (BR Klassik)

Two disappointingly tame live performances [RMo]

Bruckner Symph 5 Poschner Capriccio C8090

Bruckner: Symphony No 5 (Capriccio)

A beautifully played recording of the Fifth Symphony for those who like their Bruckner a little leaner and faster with variations of tempi strongly contrasted [RMo]

bruckner symphony hausegger pristine

Bruckner: Symphony 9 (Pristine Audio)

A classic of the Bruckner discography, revived [NC]

Bruckner Symp 4-Haitink BR Klassik 900213

Bruckner: Symphony No 4 (BR Klassik)

Another superlative rendering of a Bruckner symphony from Haitink [RMo]

jarvi great maestros estonian record productions

Neeme Järvi (conductor) Great Maestros (Estonian Record Productions)

An oddly imbalanced double bill, with an enjoyable Brahms Requiem and some unbearably rushed Bruckner [RMo]

Bruckner Symph 7 Rotterdam Shani Warner 5419761966

Bruckner: Symphony No 7 (Warner Classics)

A grand, majestic performance catching all the requisite light and shade of Bruckner’s most popular and accessible symphony [RMo]

Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 (Archipel)

A faintly disguised incarnation of Karajan’s classic first studio recording with the BPO, which has long been available on other labels in somewhat superior sound [RMo]

Bruckner: Symphony No.2 (Capriccio)

Beautifully balanced between thrilling tension and lyricism despite – or because of? – the pervasively propulsive speeds [RMo]

Bruckner: Symphony No.8 (Alpha)

An oddly bland and inconsistent account which in no sense challenges established favourite recordings [RMo]

Bruckner sym3 09026639332

Bruckner: Symphony No. 3 (RCA)

(Déjà Review) Distinction and commitment, sonorous and urgently compelling [TB]

Bruckner: Symphony No. 6, Te Deum (Testament)

An alpha performance of the Te Deum, but an omega one of the symphony [LD]

klemperer warner remastered

Otto Klemperer (conductor): The Remastered Edition (Warner Classics)

Klemperer consolidated; his full Warner legacy in best-yet transfers [JW]

bruckner book carragan

Anton Bruckner: Eleven Symphonies (Bruckner Society of America)

A highly informative and accessible guide through the thickets of Bruckner scholarship [RMo]

Karl Böhm (conductor): The SWR Recordings (SWR Classic)

A rewarding collection [GT]

Bruckner: Symphony 9 for 2 Pianos (High Definition Tape Transfers)

A highly successful transcription embracing a wide variety of moods and colours [RMo]

Bruckner Symphony 4 Roth Myrios MYR032

Bruckner: Symphony 4 (Myrios Classics)

Roth makes a fine case for the original version of Bruckner’s Fourth [JQ]

Bruckner sym3 09026613742

Bruckner: Symphony 3 (RCA)

As fine a performance of the 1889 version of Bruckner’s Third Symphony as you could wish from a great partnership [RMo]

bruckner symphony dausgaard bis

Bruckner: Symphony 4 (BIS)

Another weak instalment in this ongoing Bruckner cycle series [RMo]

A virtuoso player vividly brings to life a transformed orchestral masterpiece [MSt]

Bruckner Sym 1-9 Blomstedt Accentus ACC80575

Bruckner: Symphonies 1-9 (Accentus Music)

As fine a collection of the nine, numbered Bruckner symphonies as one could wish for, in superb sound [RMo]

Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 (Capriccio)

Poschner’s well-directed Complete Versions series continues [RMo]

Bruckner sym6 LSO0842

Controversial and underwhelming Bruckner from Rattle [LD]
