CD ReviewsSimply the best Sungu Okan | Istanbul, Istanbul Turkey | 03/28/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I think, this is the best recording of Bruckner's "Phylosophical" 6th Symphony. It is majestic. This is the first recording of new constitued New Philharmonia Orchestra. I don't disturb the tempi of Klemperer and I don't think same as the other rewievers who are dissapointed. Because, this is a last period recording of Klemperer, and already his tempi are generally not normal. Because, according to him music must be articulated cleanly and it must have breathe. The tempi decided by circumstances... And the performance of orchestra is very good. The famous espressivo themes of strings played with emotion and amazing brass sections are majestic. The second movement is one of the composer's most beautiful slow movements. There is an excellent example of counterpoint, which means Bruckner's hommage and love to Renaissance music. This is a legendary recording. Highly recommended. " Heavenly slow movement can withstand a much slower tempo Peter Heddon | 01/22/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a classic recording of one of the less approachable Bruckner Symphonies (no.2 conducted by Tintner on Naxos is the best place to start if you're not familiar with Bruckner) ....it's all too easy to overlook but the slow movement of no.6 is one of Bruckner's most sublime creations and somehow i want to wallow in it more than Klemperer's relatively (surprisingly!)brisk tempo allows.Not that it sounds impatient but i'd supplement Klemperer with Celibidache(emi)who offers a much broader view without sounding indulgent in any way." Beautiful Bruckner 6th... A Music Fan | 07/15/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This performance led by Otto Klemperer is brilliant and the sound is also excellent. It wasn't even superseded by Eugen Jochum and the Bayreuth Radio Symphony in that magnificent Bruckner cycle on DG. I am glad to see this recording reissued numerous times, which means it is readily available at reasonable prices. The performace is great, like the man who conducted it!
Try Klemperer's Bruckner 4th also on EMI!" |
