I would never recommend symphonic works, except maybe the recent >Rautauvaara releases. Beethoven, Bruckner etc... Never under Naxos. I used to have a similar view concerning Naxos works with orchestra. However, in recent years I think that the label has significantly upgraded the orchestras and conductors utilized. Their recent Beethoven symphony series is better than the previous one, and the Tintner/Bruckner series appears to be a big winner (I'm not the one to compare Bruckner recordings). So, Nicolas might find that a re-investigation of Naxos orchestral recordings is beneficial. On the other hand, there wouldn't be any great loss in avoiding them. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
