Customer Reviews
A FANTASTIC FIND FOR ALL BRUCKNERIANS!!!
If you love Bruckner--(as I do)--you'll be thrilled with this new disc. It's on the MD&G gourmet label--(which, queerly enough, Amazon lists as "MP&G" [!]). It's a 1920s arrangement of the 7th for chamber ensemble (with harmonium!). It's fantastic. This is just the type of arrangement which was done for Schoenberg's post-WWI Society for the Private Presentation of Music wherein avant-garde pieces for large orchestra were reduced for chamber performance. See also Bruckner's 3rd for piano duet arranged by Mahler (also on MD&G--"MP&G").
Brisk, Clear And Brilliant
I bought this chamber version of Bruckner's 7th out of curiosity, but I'm keeping it out of satisfaction. This arrangement for 10 musicians is something of a miracle of clarity, and power. The 59 minute performance is passionate and nuanced, and more satisfying than any full orchestral version I have heard! The recording is first rate, too.
