Film Music: The Neglected Art critic Thomas Kiefner gives the new Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Bruckner release his “highest recommendation.”
“Listening to the new live recording from Reference Recordings of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 is as close to being there as you’ll ever experience. … On the very first play you’ll hear that the Pittsburgh Symphony under Honeck’s direction play this work as if they’ve played it a 1000 times. … The Pittsburgh Symphony has brought a new meaning to this work and I’m certain that Bruckner would approve!” —Thomas Kiefner
