Bob Yoon asked for recommendations for Bruckner's 7th and 8th. On a recommendation from someone on the List, I recently picked up Tintner's on Naxos which is the 1887 Nowak version and significantly different from the better-known version to the extent that in many ways it's a different - and longer - symphony. I was particularly taken with the brass playing. You also get the #0 filling out the second CD. If you feel disposed towards springing for two 8ths, Bob, go for it. I must check out Deryk Barker's old posts on the Bruckner symphonies to see which original version I should try next. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
