    THIS is how you do Late Romantic
  

*by E***M on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016*

Describing Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) is not that simple. His nine symphonies are very complex works. There is so much dissonance and so much harmonic diversity in all nine of them. They are as meticulously intricate as R. Strauss’s tone poems, if not more. Prior to buying this CD set, I had no knowledge of Bruckner’s symphonies. I know that the composer was widely inspired by Beethoven and Wagner. I expected a blend of Late Beethoven and Early Brahms with an epic Ring Cycle vibe. After listening to all nine of them for the first time, I felt impressed. Not mesmerized, but very impressed. Then, after repeated listening, these symphonies grew on me. As of now, Bruckner’s Second and Fourth Symphonies have become two of my all-time favorites on my classical list. Having already become a fan of Wagner’s Ring Cycle and R. Strauss’s Alpine Symphony, I didn’t have much trouble listening to these. True, the later symphonies grow more complex and more dissonant, which results in a few rather maddening passages that fail to inspire. But overall, if classical music lovers admire Beethoven and Wagner and R. Strauss, then Bruckner can certainly become a worthy addition.The late Gunter Wand became my favorite conductor for Beethoven’s Ninth. He (along with his orchestra and choir) made all the right moves on that one. So it didn’t surprise me that much that he would also conduct Bruckner’s symphonies without setbacks. I could tell that he was really passionate about the music. It almost sounds as though he remained faithful to the original score, which makes this an excellent 9-CD set for those willing to introduce themselves to Bruckner’s music. There are very few unneeded amplifications with sound and quality: the music is great as it is. Granted, some of the lyrical beauty can be quite non-existent, since textural clarity is the main key here. But that doesn’t keep Wand’s recordings from joining the high ranks. His conducting is direct, and it makes the music rise without histrionic tendencies.Some have noted the slightly flawed performance of the Cologne Radio Orchestra (now the WDR Sinfonie-Orchester Koln). It is true that the orchestra isn’t as potent or polished as, say, the Berlin Philharmonic or Bavarian Radio Symphony. Sometimes the brass has a little trouble with fast tempos, and the strings aren’t exactly pristine. Fortunately, the orchestra keeps up with the conductor very well and the overall performances of each symphony really pay off. The players sure know how to pack a punch during the most intense moments.These symphonies were recorded in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. Sound quality is very good for its time. The acoustics are more compact, which leads to relatively smaller echoes in the recording venue. RCA re-mastering is a big plus: orchestral detail is very clear.Official Grade: 9.1 out of 10

    excellent set

It took a long time for Bruckner's music to sink in for me. Years of occasionally attending a live performance, popping in a disc at home or while driving to work, but never really feeling like I "got it." Finally, a few years ago, it started to click - the film of Celibidache contacting the 7th in Berlin and especially Abbado's last performance, the 9th with Lucerne, attending a performance of the 8th with Nezet-Seguin and Philadelphia  - The music made more sense to me and I enjoyed it more and more. And for anyone who loves classical music, a subscription to the Berlin Philharmonic streaming service is a great way to explore composers - dozens of performances over the last few decades). So, I finally purchased this set to replace the piece-meal collection that included both the 6th and 9th from this. My ear is not developed enough to deliver authoritative comparisons of performances - but I can tell what I enjoy, and I am really enjoying this set. First, there is something different between this and older issues of the same (6 and 9) on CD - I'm not sure what it is or why, but this is a softer or warmer sound. I think all of my other CDs were from the late 1980s and early 1990s and I've been told by audiophiles that the manufacturing of CD's generally improved after 2000 or so. Whatever the reason, and it could be in my head,  it sounds better.  The sound on each recording is full, dynamic, real clarity in the intricate parts and fantastic blasts from horns and percussion. I've just listened to the 4th again, and the pulsating power in some of the loudest parts is simply amazing. Perhaps Wand is more direct and powerful than Abbado and some others - Abbado's reading of the 9th is exceptionally subtle and reflective and beautifully so to my ears - but there is no lack of sensitivity either with Wand. The soft passages have great warmth and the phrasing throughout connecting climactic moments that can seem jarring in other performances. While I doubt this is the only interpretation of Bruckner worth listening to, this set does just fine for me. If I was told I could have one set of Bruckner, this would certainly be it.follow up, August 21: after several weeks with this set, I am even more enthusiastic.

    Excellent Set.

I've only recently come to Bruckner via the first Jochum go-through on DG which I really enjoyed.  And I'm a big fan of early stereo so I loved that aspect, as they sounded great.  At the same time I bought his EMI set and also this set by Gunter Wand.  After going through the first three symphonies on the EMI set I knew it wasn't for me - neither the sound nor the performances were the equal of his first set.  But now I'm onto the Wand and he does indeed have quite the magic wand with Bruckner - they're different performances of different weight in equally nice sound and I'm enjoying them thoroughly.  I may even give this set the slight edge as there's a little more emotion here, at least to my ears.
