Conductors who avoid certain composers....

[Nick Armstrong]

You won't regret it - it's wonderful....

All a cunning plan, eh PJ ?!

[PJPJ]

Apart from Haitink and Maazel, is there any conductor who has performed/recorded cycles of both Bruckner and Mahler Symphonies? Wand & Tintner? No Mahler. Kubelik? Complete cycles of Beethoben, Schumann (twice), Brahms and Mahler, but Bruckner? Bernstein? Just Bruckner #9 (twice). Jochum? Just Das Lied von der Erde as far as I know. Karajan? A complete Bruckner set, but only 4, 5, 6 & 9 (and the orchestral songs) of Mahler. Solti the other way round - a complete Mahler cycle (some twice) but only Symphonies (again, IIRC) 1, 4, 7 & 8 of the Bruckners. Abbado? Similar to Solti. Barenboim? Two Bruckner cycles, but only Mahler's Fifth. Rattle? A complete Mahler cycle, but has only (afaik) performed the 7th & 9th of Bruckner. Granted, he's recorded more of the 9th than any of the other names mentioned so far, but ...

Curious.

Solti recorded a Bruckner cycle.

Solti recorded all of Bruckner too and some of them twice.

i think Rattle's recorded Bruckner symphony no.4 too.

Any ferney? - you're in-box is full up ahem! Let's us know when it ain't eh?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Thanks for the Solti Bruckner pointers. Don't know how ... well, y'know.

(And ami is quite correct about the Bruckner Fourth. )

[pastoralguy]

Most conductors seem to avoid George Lloyd...

Triffic news

Yes the LP of his Chicago SO 7th had a side break in the Adagio

His VSO 7th was coupled with the S. Idyll that we were discussing earlier....Saw him do it with LPO in RFH.

[cloughie]

Abbado seemed to avoid British music - rather rude really as the one time Chief of the LSO!

[Petrushka]

Mention has been made of Haitink and Sibelius. I recall him saying somewhere that Scandinavian music does nothing for him. The Nielsen 5 was on one of his Prom programmes at one time but was dropped in favour of, I think, the Tchaikovsky 5.

Dvorak 8

Count Chailly in the Mahler/Bruckner gang.

Interesting observation from Ferney especially when we think everyone is recording these symphonies by the bucket load.

Barenboim has also set down M7 and M9.
