Yes - what am I saying? Jochum is the man I meant; I can't explain why I typed Bohm????? Apart from the very slight dyslexia that I think I have. I think one word and another gets typed

No problem, visnic; just for moment there you had my hopes up!
The Jochum DG set is excellent (I got to know the Eighth from this set) - haven't heard anything from the EMI cycle for about twenty years!

I know that 8th is frequently disparaged for using the Nowak edition and for its gear changes but I love it too .Comment

Just listened to this podcast . Despite my liking for the Wand I found SJ's criticisms of the Karajan bizarre- the bit he thought was " ghastly" I thought was terrific !
The same applied to the Bohm extract that he thought had not worn well - I thought that was gripping !
The failure to consider the Walter was extraordinary when the Harnoncourt was included ! Wand was the only one of his top four I really rated .Comment

I fear not, cloughie; hence my excitement at the prospect of an entire Bruckner cycle!Originally posted by cloughie
There is a recording of the Seventh from 1943 that is remarkable for some firey speeds in the first movement: very different from the stereo version and worth the chip shop acoustic!

What are the Bohm DG 7 & 8 like ?Comment

I don't know the Eighth, Barbs, but the Seventh is very good: warm and lyrical but with a good sense of forward movement - a mixture of the best features of Walter and Klemperer together with something all Böhm's own. One of his best studio recordings, I think.Originally posted by Barbirollians[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

This live 7th from Vienna is even more impressive; if you haven't already got a copy it's worth keeping an eye open for one.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebteComment

I assume you are referring to the live 1976 Bruckner 7 that Böhm conducted with the VPO in Salzburg? Available on the Andante label and one which I've raved about several times on here.Originally posted by PJPJ
Böhm also recorded the 4th and 5th with the Dresden Staatskapelle in the 1930s and now available on Profil. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bruckner-Sym...955417&sr=1-18"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

I am indeed, and can also confirm the Profil set's transfers are very well made.Originally posted by PetrushkaComment

I have just dug out the 1951 Stuttgart Furtwangler Bruckner - a wonderful experience . He really was in a league of his own in Bruckner .Comment

I have the recording of a performance given a day or two later (Oct 29 1951) in the Deutsches Museum in Munich (well worth a visit, incidentally). The sound is pretty ropey and Furtwängler makes a cut as well as an unnecessary cymbal clash in the finale but - and this is the thing - with all these liabilities it still shines through as being something very special.Originally posted by Barbirollians"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

I had not listened to the Columbia SO/Walter for too long - it is a truly great record . Terrific cumulative power and impact .Comment
