Pittsburgh’s Bruckner Symphony No. 9 Gets Five Stars from Audiophile Audition

Audiophile Audition’s Steven Ritter gives Five Stars to Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 recording:

“Ah, to live in Pittsburgh these days! … And why, you say? Because the Pittsburgh Symphony is sounding as good as any orchestra in the country, and Manfred Honeck’s direction stamps an indelible seal on so many masterworks once thought virtually untouchable. … a balanced, dramatic, powerfully reliable attention to the score is coupled with what I would call a theological musicality. He does what he does, while trusting that Bruckner’s god will work the rest through the composer’s score. The surround sound, as usual by the folks at sound/mirror, is simply spectacular, easily the best I have heard in this work, expansive. Vibrant, and dynamically resonant. If you love this piece, you will have to have this. Period.”

—Steven Ritter, Audiophile Audition
