I know this is not de rigeur for the list, but I do want to publically
thank Tony for his long, fascinating and detailed reply to my questions.
I've been wondering about this for a long time and was too lazy to look
into it. It was exactly what I was looking for and the source was the
expected one.
I didn't have time to really get into this recording and review it, so I am
very glad he did so, and so thoroughly. It's an important document, worth
the attention. I found the review mostly right on, though the playing and
tonal quality of the orchestra bothered me more than it did him, but then
I am a real "tone" person, especially in Bruckner.
A real plus from the list, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks.
