"His Bruckner Fifth is revelatory. I found myself making comparison with Karajan, Jochum, Wand and Furtwaengler, finding that Tintner was bringing insights to the music worthy of any of those great names." Hi-fi News & Record Review
"Tintner… casts Bruckner's grand, emotionally charged structures in a refreshing light of restraint and proportion. Reflected back is an aura of honest affection and with it a paradoxical exchange: a beguiling intellectual beauty where one often finds a cloistered spirituality… He has devoted himself to Bruckner for many years, and his expertise tells, not only in the originality of the present interpretations but also in his accompanying essays…
Through and through, Mr Tintner's sure grasp of structure underpins his lyrical bent … While his reading of the Fifth may reflect his aversion to self-indulgence… his unfailing sense of line and pace and balance does not make for any kind of mathematical encounter… this version is among the most lucid and radiant to be found on disks…
What is constant, on a line from the Second to the Eighth, is the conductor's knack for boiling away the Romantic excess of tradition and getting at the crux of Bruckner's art. " New York Times
