On April 2, 1932, the Internationale Bruckner\nGesellschaft sponsored a concert with the Munich Philharmonic playing two\nperformances of the Bruckner Ninth: one in Loewe's revised version, and one\nof the composer's original score. They invited eminent scholars and musical\nfigures of the day, and this kind of “a-b“ comparison convinced all present\nof the superiority of Bruckner's original version, and led directly to the\nGesellschaft's decision to publish this and other Bruckner symphonies in\ntheir original versions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 25px;\"\u003e\nTo conduct that very special concert, the Bruckner Society chose Siegmund\nvon Hausegger. Six years later he made this recording of the work (having\nin the interim helped to supervise the publication of the original\nversion). Von Hausegger was born in Graz in 1872, which meant he was 24 when\nBruckner died. He had begun conducting at the Graz opera in 1895, Bruckner's\nfinal full year—and thus his links with the style and times of this music\nare significant. He was very highly thought of as a conductor, and his own\ncompositions were well thought of too.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 25px;\"\u003e\nHausegger's conducting here is sensational. He takes Bruckner on his own\nterms, the only way that really works. This means he lets the score unfold\nat its own leisurely pace, he doesn't fear the length, and therefore gives\nBruckner's special world to us with a straightforward honesty that is\ndifferent from most performances, which seem to be trying to “help“\nBruckner in some way. In addition, Hausegger's intimate knowledge of the\nscore pays off in the many details he convincingly integrates into the\nwhole, while still giving them loving special touches. There are subtle\n\u003cem\u003eritards\u003c\/em\u003e (e.g., first mvt., bars 10-12); there is the special warmth\nof the string playing throughout (note the violin entrance in measure 27 of\nthe first movement); there is the feel for Bruckner's sonorities (well\ncaptured in this superbly processed transfer); and there is the inner\nspirit of this music that Hausseger feels deeply, and conveys movingly.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 25px;\"\u003e\nI don't want to bore you with many more score references or details, but\nthey do help give meaning to otherwise vague allusions to “spirit.“ Two\nmore will suffice. Many conductors rush Bruckner's rests, afraid of the\nsilences. Hausegger does not. In fact, at measure 276 of the first movement,\nhe observes the \u003cem\u003efermata\u003c\/em\u003e over the rest with a vengeance; but\nbecause of the way he has led into that rest, the tension carries right\nthrough the pause. Finally, what there is that sets this reading apart from\nmost modern performances is a reverence for orchestral sound, for tone,\nthat is almost a lost art today. Listen to the way the B-flat in the\nviolins at bars 190-191 of the first movement just seems to grow\norganically richer as it sounds and you will know you are hearing some very\nspecial music-making.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 25px;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHenry Fogel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis article originally appeared in Issue 05:2 (Nov\/Dec 1981) of Fanfare\nMagazine\n\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eThis 1938 recording has long been treasured as one of the greatest\nrecordings of Bruckner’s final symphony and, despite its age, it remains\nrelevant to the modern listener. However, the somewhat distant and\nconstrained sound of that original recording have been a major obstacle for\nthose wishing to get the most from this truly historic document. This\nPristine Ambient Stereo XR remastering aims to do as much as possible,\nwithin the constraints of the dynamic and frequency range of the original,\nto rectify this situation. It brings an entirely new and vastly improved\nsoundscape to the recording which, whilst it cannot replace lost upper-end\nfrequencies, results in a far more realistic and believable presentation of\nthis vital world première recording.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHAUSEGGER \u003c\/b\u003eBruckner: Symphony No. 9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eBRUCKNER \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSymphony No. 9 in D minor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. 1st mvt. - Feierlich, misterioso  (23:38)\u003cbr\u003e2. 2nd mvt. - Scherzo.
