Bear in mind the difference: the Naxos recording of the Bruckner Symphony No. 9 includes the reconstructed complete Finale in the version by Nicola Samale, Giuseppe Mazucca, John Phillips and Benjamin Gunnar Cohrs. By any measure, this is a very fine performance indeed, with Johannes Wildner leading the New Philharmonia Westphalen. The BMG recording with Harnoncourt and the Vienna Philharmonic includes only the Finale fragments, as Bruckner left them--not a completion--as edited by John Phillips for the Complete Edition. Harnoncourt is also the first recording of Ben Cohrs new critical edition of movmements 1 - 3. Harnoncourt also provides a spoken narration, selectable in either German or English, to explain the various surviving segments of the Finale torso. Regards, John Proffitt KUHF-FM Houston
