Bruckner cycle mourns its leader
RIPThe recording of the complete Bruckner symphonies, conducted by Maestro Rémy Ballot in the Basilica Church of St Florian has been shadowed by the sudden death of Thomas Wall, one of its chief instigators.
Thomas was Intendant of the Altomonte-Orchester St Florian and its principal cellist. He was widely known across Austrian orchestras.
Bruckner fanboys are the most rabid and volatile fans in classical music (with the possible exception of Furtwangler lovers). They’ll buy anything, even if it’s the 15th recording of a long-discredited Bruckner edition.
But who, apart from those, truly needs YET another Bruckner cycle???
What an utterly stupid and, especially considering the subject of this post, insensitive comment.
What’s even more confounding is a$$holes who get their panties in a wad because OTHER PEOPLE may be passionate about a composer and/or conductor they may not care about. What business is it of you, friendo?
I don’t think Bruckner fans ever hurt anybody.
In the ’30s-’40s? I bet you’re dead wrong.
Wow.. what an inane comment. Nazis, by the way, were into the Anti-Semite Wagner
Are you referring to Oswald Kabasta?
