• Bruckner 6

    From Herman@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 15 09:19:28 2023
    Today I had a lot of fun listening to Hurwitz' 45 minute vid about Bruckner's 6th symphony. Some criticism on my part of Hurwitz's videos has occurred in the past, so it's no more than fair that I post a positive post on his work.

    The B6 appears to be a favorite of DH, as it is for me, and his enthusiasm is winning, and his singing is really something else this time around. I kind of liked his 'animal, vegetable, mineral' arranging of the thematic material. I fully concur with the
    unorthodox opinion that nr 6 is not some kinky outlier in Bruckners symphonic oeuvre, but his structurally and musically most satisfying symphony of all.

    I fully disagree with his weird choice of the New Zealand Symphony as the best recording (seriously?) but what does it matter. I have been a fan of Dresden in this symphony. The olde Eugen Jochum recording for EMI and the live Haitink from 2003 on Profil.

    B6 is Celibidache's best Bruckner outing on disc (and probably his best recording).

    That does it for me.

    I also like Chailly's Concertgebouw recording, which despite some quirks is too beautiful to resist.

    Last year's release of the BBC Philharmonic conducted by Juanjo Mena was also surprisingly (to me) great.

    ISTR that Georg Tintner recorded all the Bruckner symphonies for Naxos
    and they were generally favourably reviewed.

    Not clear if you realize that the New Zealand recording recommended by Hurwitz is conducted by Tintner.
    This recording appears to have been widely praised, Herman's casual dismissal of the New Zealanders notwithstanding.

    Thanks, Herman, for bringing up this video - definitely Hurwitz at his
    finest and very interesting.

    There are a lot of good performances of the 6th - I also like the
    Haitink on Profil - but this one by Rosbaud is really exceptional: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYlcXBsMxr4

    Not the best recorded or best played, but Rosbaud wrings every ounce (or
    ton) of drama and sentiment from the score...

    What did Dave have to say about Furt's war B6, regretfully missing the first movement. The remaining three movements are god-like.

    A good Bruckner 6 by the NDR Elbphilharmonie and Herbert Blomstedt, who, I have often noticed, sees Bruckner as a sort of religiously peaceful happy camper, papering over the big conflicts in the music. Blomstedt fermates are rather rushed, too, just to
    keep the music flowing. It's a view that doesn't quite satisfy me, but it's a wonderful concert just the same.

    My choice for Bruckner 6 is Wand's live version with the NDR Symphony, which I had the good fortune of finding in the $1.00 bargain bin at Amoeba in San Francisco a couple of years ago. That said, there are a few relatively inexpensive used copies
    available from Amazon Marketplace available now: https://www.amazon.com/Bruckner-Symphony-No-6-Anton/dp/B000003G1N

    Modern arrangers and composers have a talent for making the bad sound even worse. Dutch classical radio has a rubric where artists are invited to create a new version of a famous piece. Today it was Schumann's 'Traumerei', played by a string ensemble
    that added some jazzy elements. It sounded the way I imagine Haggis must taste.

    BTW, this Bruckner 6 is even worse.

    Bruckner is the anti-matter particle of the jazz particle. They do not co-exist.

    Exciting to whom?

    One with the Dresden, and one with the BRSO.

    Please explain your remark that because everyone

    that there is no diversity there.

    Never mind, that was Gerard's remark.
    Perhaps he will explain it. I often have

    Frank, is it okay with you if this topic is not about Israel, but rather about Bruckner?
    It says so in the title...

    No, I didn't, and I explained it multiple times.
    I attended a matinee concert in Singapore,
    then took an evening flight back to the US,
    then went to a concert in SF the night after
    I arrived.

    SAME DATE! SAME CALENDAR DAY!

    I was wondering if you have a favorite among more recent versions with
    better sound??

    TIA

    I have to confess that, after writing that article a few years ago, I haven't particularly listened to this symphony recently, not because exposure caused me not to love it any more, I've been simply concentrating on other things.

    The problem is that Dan called Herman an antisemite. Rather than just deny it and explain away whatever he said that caused Dan to label him such, Herman went psychotic.

    Good one. Herman's criticisms have become much more hyperbolic --
    i.e. Herman is becoming more like DK. (I told him it rubs off!)

    There is no "explaining away" when you're being called an antisemite just for saying one admiring thing about a non-Jewish violinist.
    When I said I admired the Juilliard's violist Rapheael Hillyer very much, the response was this was anti-semitic, too, because he played the viola.
