I have the BBC Legends recording and found it perfectly fine though it's a long time since I last played it."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

Despite searching, I'm afraid I haven't been able to find his post.

Tennstedt is superb in this and I’m pretty sure that’s Nowak . Also enjoyed Haitink ..

Or for a very urgent, dramatic presentation of another less-frequently heard version, have a go at VSO/Andreae in the 1892 score...on Qobuz if you don't have the box.

The scherzo sounds startlingly new and different here. Gorgeous SACD sound if you have it (or lossless on Qobuz)....why not try that?

Originally posted by Bryn View PostThanks, jayne, I was considering the Young but like to listen in surround when available. Trouble is, the room with the surround setup is not being heated at the moment, so I would rather listen either from CD or a digital download I already have. However, while browsing my Bruckner boxes my eyes fell up the putative 1888 variant ed. Carragan (Schaller). What think you?
The last section in Dermot Gault's The New Bruckner is headed "An Abiding Plurality".....
Just so....Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 11-03-21, 01:09.

Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostToo long since I last heard it, but I recall favourable responses and reviews, and I have Schaller's 1-3 out awaiting play.... so why not? 1888 is essentially a variant of the 1887 original so although I'd probably prefer 1887 "straight" rather than on the rocks, I think I'll get mine out as well...! Fit it in among the Simpson somewhere...
