To me, Mravinsky was a great conducter. I bought 1 CD from the BMG-Melodia
collection for sampling listening - the Bruckner #9. The performance is
fine but the orchestra is terrible. May be too hash to use this word- it
is a feature of Russian orchestra. The brass is not performed well. I
just sold the CD to 2nd hand market. Personnally, I prefer Tintner's
Bruckner #9. May be Russian orchestra is not suitable for Bruckner's
music.
Any recommendation on sharing Mravinsky's act?
