Re: Bruckner Symphonies update by John Quinn and Patrick Waller
One can hope for a future re-release and better distribution of the Herbert Blomstedt/Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra set of Bruckner Symphonies 1 - 9. As someone who has loved and lived with Bruckner for 55+ years, I will state without equivocation that this set is as fine as any and better than most -- never surpassed in my opinion. Each and every symphony receives a magisterial interpretation. All are public performance recordings, in fabulous 5.0 high resolution surround sound, co-produced between MDR (Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, aka Leipzig Radio) and the Querstand label, also a local Leipzig establishment owned by publisher Klaus-Jürgen Kamprad. In other words, very much a proud, 100% Leipzig production. The boxed set remains out of print and hard to get, but individual SACDs from the set are generally available from, for example, jpc.de. Previous Message I am one of those who happilly have the Blomstedt/Leipzig SACD cycle, 1-9. This must be one of the most underrated Bruckner cycles ever. Few reviewers mention it, if any. It was released by a small company, Querstand, and is difficult and expensive to get nowadays.
