Oly Pfaff (tenor), Manfred Hug (organ), Wolfgang Czelusta, Klaus Bäuerle, Peter Redwig & Fritz Zanotelli Philharmonia Vocalensemble Stuttgart, Hans Zanotelli The motets on this recording range from a cappella style to works for four to eight voices accompanied by three or four trombones and organ. They include continuously set motets and motets in ‘strophe’ form. Since a difference of almost forty years separates the first and the last compositions, stylistic differences are to be expected. The harmonies also provides for variety. | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |

Philharmonie Festiva, Gerd Schaller Bruckner's music embodies the visions of a devout, ordinary man. Parts of his expansive, shimmering musical landscapes are influenced by Wagner, but one can also detect Schubert, who began life in similar circumstances. The reposeful piety which runs through Bruckner's symphonic spectrum lends his music its unique power of attraction. Well over a hundred years after Anton Bruckner's death, the discussions about him on the part of music historians and performers are not yet at an end. Anton Bruckner was a composer who flagrantly contradicted the spirit of his era. No other body of music has had to wait such a long time to gain the acknowledgement of audiences at large. “Gerd Schaller is a fairly experienced theatre conductor whose way with Bruckner is dramatic, interpretatively direct, sensibly paced and in general unfussy. The Fourth enjoys a compellingly played finale..., the Seventh fine brass and woodwinds in the Scherzo's Trio, although I have to say that Philharmonie Festiva, a gathering of musicians from various Munich orchestras, isn't quite of the front rank.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2011 | | | (also available to download from $33.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

live recording “In Bruckner's music the architecture becomes 'visible', i.e. apparent to the ear, in the unambiguous opposition of blocks of sound, tempos and rhythms which, instead of flowing into one another, stand side by side like building blocks. That is why I hold it to be so important that the tempos be seen in a meaningful relation to one another. If that is not the case, no matter how 'beautifully' a Bruckner symphony is played or how good it sounds, the performance will lack something essential.” (G.Wand) | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
