Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major 'Romantic'

Anton Bruckner

Enregistrements

Premier Choix

Karl Böhm / Vienna Philharmonic

1974

Gil's top recommendation. 'Sounds beautiful... very natural and powerful in the way it builds.' Böhm 'just lets the symphony do its thing.'

Également Recommandés

Eugen Jochum / Berlin Philharmonic

1965

From one of the best cycles. 'A little bit more... interventionist. He flexes the tempo a little bit more, a little bit more dramatic... also very poetic.'

Sergiu Celibidache / Munich Philharmonic

1988 Live recording

'Unconventional.' Celibidache 'tended to slow things down' creating a 'zen-like, transcendental-like... hypnotic' feeling. Gil says it's a 'very powerful experience.'

Wilhelm Furtwängler / Vienna Philharmonic

Oct 29, 1951 Live recording

Gil prefers this 'more patient, not as frenetic' recording to the one from a week earlier. He praises Furtwängler's 'understanding of where the music should go.'
