Details: Product Description BRUCKNER Amazon.ca George Tintner's program notes forthrightly touch upon both the strengths and gaucheries of Bruckner's seldom heard 1887 first version of the Eighth Symphony and the composer's early "Symphony No. 0." Tintner proves just as clear-headed and loving a Brucknerian from the vantagepoint of the podium. He takes the composer's tempo relationships on faith, letting the music run its natural course while never letting the momentum sag one drop. The orchestra breathes as well as sings together, although the splendid brass section tends to overpower the winds during loud tuttis. Still and all, anyone who cares about Bruckner should not pass up this illuminating release. --Jed Distler
