Description:

Tintner / RomanticRecorded digitally in 1996. The Bruckner interpretations by Georg Tintnerthe late-blooming master whose performances are always met with acclaimadhere to the traditional style of his native Austria, and and while they possess a grand sense of scale, their greatest appeal lies in a progression rooted in pure, unpretentious valuesa stark contrast to bombastic Bruckner performances.Tintner is always meticulous about the score, and for this Symphony No. 4, he has adopted the Haas editionbased on the Second Draft, which is considered to represent the works truly completed formas it is believed to be closer to the composers original intent. The basic tempo is, of course, on the slower side, andperhaps reflecting the solid craftsmanship of the large-scale musical structureone cannot help but be impressed by the majestic presence evident throughout the performance
