Review

"In the Third Symphony all three play the later 1888–9 revision and each makes much of it. Karajan has great force and spontaneity even at the cost of clean ensemble in places; Jochum is immensely powerful and grand. But again it is Wand who is the real master here. He shapes the blocked off, sometimes truncated text from within, as though he had rewritten it himself. And I like his brisker way with the third movement Trio, which is more of a piece with the movement as a whole than the Jochum account which is full of character but rhythmically more disjunct."

-- Richard Osborne, Gramophone

Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 – 11 October 1896)) was an Austrian composer. His symphonies are considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism because of their rich harmonic language, strongly polyphonic character, and considerable length. Bruckner composed eleven symphonies, scored for a fairly standard orchestra. His orchestration was modeled after the sound of his primary instrument, the pipe organ.

***

Günter Wand (January 7, 1912, Elberfeld, Germany – February 14, 2002, Ulmiz, Switzerland) was a German orchestra conductor and composer. He was largely self-taught as a conductor. Wand received twice the internationally significant Diapason d'Or for his Schubert and Bruckner recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
