Bruckner: Symphony No.4

"There are not many versions as fine as Georg Tintner's on Naxos, at whatever price. With extreme pianissimos magically caught, full of mystery, this is an exceptionally spacious reading, deeply reflective and poetic, which brings out the Schubertian qualities in Bruckner, sweet and songful as well as dramatic. The playing of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra is as refined as the recording with subtly terraced dynamics beautifully clear." Penguin Guide

"The final version of the Symphony no. 4, recorded in Glasgow in October 1996, is another success. At nearly 75 minutes the vision is broad once again, but it is also absolutely right. Although other recordings (Gunther Wand on RCA, for instance) generate greater intensity and richness of tone, there is no reason to hesitate at the attractive Naxos price. And in any case, Tintner brings his own insights to this wonderful score." MusicWeb
