Description:

Sukrovaczewski was still great...! A passionate performance that brought Japan to its feet just after the completion of the complete Bruckner cycle! This is a live recording of the great Bruckner conductor, Sukrovaczewski, conducting the NHK Symphony Orchestra in 2002. The famous recording of the complete Bruckner cycle with the Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra was completed in 2001. The actual performance was even better than expected and captivated Bruckner fans in Japan. This disc is a great hit, bringing back the excitement of that time. The violins are unusually arranged on both wings, giving a three-dimensional sound. Both pieces are surprisingly rich in romanticism, and the performances are full of energy and enthusiasm. The tension never slackens, and the strong vitality and intensity of the strings cannot be missed. The score for No. 4 is based on the second draft, but has been modified independently, and the color and balance are exquisite.No. 9 does not overly lengthen the so-called Bruckner pauses, valuing the shocking flow of the music, which has a stirring expression. Therefore, the third movement, which takes a relaxed and bold tempo, does not lose its powerful construction, allowing the listener to fully enjoy Bruckner's great work. King International
