I deeply love Mahler, though, so you are wrong there .... :lol:

At just under 90 minutes, is this the slowest Bruckner 7 ever? -- at least as it's on DVD I didn't have to change discs part way through. :)
Very good, though. Boring, it isn't! I do like Celi's conducting.
A fascinating 55 minute documentary / rehearsal film also included on the DVD.
Another DVD of a live performance ...

Wow.
And this is rather interesting. The influence of Wagner is unmistakable!

And some lovely Mozart playing here, on Mozart's very own piano :eek: - a very distinctive and enjoyable sound -->

I played the first, 75 minute, CD.
I enjoyed it so much I played it again straight away!
Who the hell is this guy? :scratch:
Minimalist - lovers of Phil Glass's music should check this man out. :)

Musica Antiqua Köln, director Reinhard Goebel

I love the work of the Musica Antiqua Köln but surprisingly, despite possessing several copies of this Bach work, it is only now that I have acquired a copy of this performance.

Quite possibly the best SACD sound quality I have heard - hey, I actually enjoyed this one!
They often sound blurred and mushy, bloated and ill-defined, to me. Maybe I need to hear them in surround sound? :scratch:
Very very fine performances, too.
Ah, that's good to know, Jerry. I could do with an excellent performance of those pieces.
Kerrrching!

This the second in the series that I have obtained.
The same clear, precise and lucid playing as in the other. Nice.

Whoa! :eek: - magnificent. Recording is a little bright and forward on climaxes (of which there are many, very powerfully conveyed here).
This recording courtesy of Phil (The Count) who paid a most enjoyable visit to Jerry Towers yesterday. :)
Glad you liked it Jerry. Some slight recompense for introducing me to his Bruckner 8 in Lubeck Cathedral - I'm into double figure listens of that already :eek:
I must try and get hold of a copy of the von Matacic Bruckner 8
