GOODALL ROCKS ROYAL ALBERT HALL!!!!

09/14/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"LONG AWAITED RELEASE OF THIS LIVE BRUCKNER 8 WITH THE LEGENDARY REGINALD GOODALL IN TOP FORM IN 1969. ALSO INCLUDED ARE A COUPLE WAGNER DITTIES (GOODALL'S FIRST LOVE) TRISTAN PRELUDE AND WESENDONCK LIEDER WITH THE LOVELY VOICED JANET BAKER. ALL PERFORMANCES ARE OUTSTANDING, BUT OF COURSE YOU WILL BUY IT FOR THE BRUCKNER. THE PERFORMANCE HAS AMAZING WEIGHT AND CONVICTION TO IT, THE ORCHESTRAL SOUND IS DARK AND BURNISHED, PERFECT FOR BRUCKNER. WHILE NOT QUITE AS SLOW AS ANOTHER LONG AWAITED BRUCKNER 8, NAMELY THE CELIBIDACHE/MUNICH RECORDING, IT IS IN THE SAME CLASS FOR SURE. THIS IS BRUCKNER CONDUCTING WHICH MAKES MOST OTHER 8THS SEEM LIGHT-WEIGHT. I PERSONALLY LOVE THIS APPROACH. IF YOU LIKE CELIBIDACHE, YOU WILL LOVE GOODALL IN THIS MUSIC. THE WAGNER FILL-UPS ARE ICING ON THE CAKE AS THEY SAY. ALTOGETHER AN UNMISSABLE ISSUE. PLEASE ALSO SEE THE RECENTLY RELEASED BRUCKNER 7 WITH GOODALL ON BBC LEGENDS/IMG. BY THE WAY, THE ORCHESTRA IN ALL THESE RECORDINGS IS THE BBC SYMPHONY. THEY DESERVE SPECIAL MENTION IN THAT THEY RESPOND TO GOODALL'S CONDUCTING IN A VERY PROFOUND WAY. ENJOY AND THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW!!!!"
