Critic Michael Cookson adds a second MusicWeb International review for Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony’s Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 recording:

“Honeck’s Pittsburgh forces are in commendable form here and this unquestionably joins my favourite recordings. This is a live performance in the Heinz Hall, Pittsburgh and on this hybrid SACD, played on my standard unit, the renowned Soundmirror team has provided first class sound providing clarity, detail and satisfying balance. … Honeck has written the insightful and informative booklet essay which is really top drawer and even gives numerous timings to locate specific points of interest in the performance. …The ‘Pittsburgh Live!’ series on Reference Classics is aptly demonstrating the exceptional quality of work from Manfred Honeck and his Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Honeck and his Pittsburgh players are in majestic form here in Bruckner’s Ninth, with a performance that firmly holds the attention.”
