Product Description

Here's a welcome box of all Bruckner's numbered symphonies led by a distinguished specialist renowned during his lifetime for his identification with the composer. Neatly laid out with each symphony on a disc of its own (no annoying midsymphony changeovers) and in top-quality late-1970s sound, this is an irresistible bargain for such superb performances. Jochum's Bruckner was spontaneous-sounding, with generally swift tempos tempered by flexible rhythms and slow movements that squeeze all the juice from this heartfelt music. The Dresden orchestra is a marvelous instrument for these works, with a beefy, warm sound and brass players that can whip up the excitement in the grand climaxes. Individual conductors, whether vintage greats like Furtwängler or more recent Brucknerians such as Wand on RCA and Tintner on Naxos, may equal or better Jochum in individual works, but taken as a complete traversal of these massive scores, Jochum's is second to none. — Dan Davis

Customer Reviews
This Bruckner cycle sparkles and shines with spiritual profundity!
I bought both Jochum cycles (DG and EMI) of the Bruckner Symphonies well over a year ago and listened to them both over and over for several months. I finally reached what I thought was the saturation point and, being afraid I had over-done it, put them away for awhile. I recently decided to listen to them both straight through…   More reviews
amazing!
It's just wonderful, I agree with everybody here, although I think
Berlin and Vienna are even more superior in sound than Dresden.
No doubt about it, Jochum Karajan Haitink, Mehta, Klemperer was great in 4 and 6.Solti as well, Chicago recording is amazing! Mehta conducted my first Bruckner 8th with the New York Philharmonic. 1980. At the…   More reviews
Great music at a great price
I bought this music based on my love of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra's recordings of Bruckner's Seventh and Ninth symphonies with Telarc. I thought I might enjoy all of Bruckner's other symphonies. I was right.
The sound quality of these recordings is excellent, and the music is beautiful. I especially like the first movement of the Sixth symphony. It sounds like the music of Heaven…   More reviews
A very damaged Bruckner- Surpassed and overrated recording
What a disappointment! The brass section was in these recordings in very bad condition. In that period Jochum recorded Beethoven with the London Symphony and Brahms with the London Philharmonic.I know many readers will blame me but I really think that it would have been much better to record Bruckner with one of these orchestras. This set has many…   More reviews
Great Bruckner
Eugen Jochum, on EMI, gives the complete Bruckner Symphonies a grandeur and ruggedness other performances lack. Beautifully played as well, and, to boot, well priced.   More reviews
