Review By Classic CD,



Review By Gramophone,May 1998



Review By Penguin Guide Key Recording,January 2009

Georg Tintner here opts for the edition of the original (1872) score, presenting the work at its most expansive and with the middle two movements in reverse order from usual. The Scherzo has an extra repeat, but more important is the expansion of both the slow movement and the finale, here presented in concentrated performances that feel not a moment too long. The coda of the Andante brings a horn solo at the very end (substituted by Herbeck in 1876), challenging too the player, which is more strikingly beautiful than the clarinet solo with which Bruckner replaced it. Excellent, refined playing from the Irish orchestra and full, rich sound, with the brass gloriously caught.
