The fourth instalment of Mario Venzago's survey of Bruckner's Symphonies. There are many recordings on the market which make it difficult for strikingly different interpretations, but this series has received great acclaim for its originality and the way it challenges previous conceptions.
On the series previous release, Gramophone said 'The principle virtue of the performance is in its agility, leanness and considerable subtlety of expression, the way it challenges the Bruckner cliché (weight, breadth, monumentality) with something utterly new'.
"Venzago is an experienced and committed Bruckner conductor, as previous issues in the series have proved...Each section of the Berne orchestra acquits itself admirably [in the Third]...Alas, [the Sixth] seems to me to be much less successful" MusicWeb International, 17th June 2013
"Venzago demolishes - and clearly enjoys doing so - the idea that all conductors need to do is think big, think solemn, pour on lashings of string vibrato and, bingo, an authentic Bruckner is theirs for the taking...In contrast to the inexorable rightness of the Third, the first movement of the Sixth Symphony is hurried....Venzago's Third is state-of-the-art, though." Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2013
