Symphony No. 2 In C Minor / Sound Document Of Recording Sessions

Notes: • Disc 1 contains the same recording as disc 1 of the set "Camerata – 30CM-195~6"; this is indicated by its secondary cat#, which is that of disc 1 of the latter release. • Track 2-1 and track 1-4 are digitally identical up to 20:17: they differ only in the following half-minute (this technical point is not stated on the release). In track 2-1, this last half minute contains the 1876 version of the passage with the final chord repetitions: the accompanying theme is now played by unison strings (instead of the barely audible cello/doublebass combination of the 1872 version in track 1-4). This modification was made and included in the release at the conductor's request. (cf. booklet p. 13). 14 pp. booklet containing extensive liner notes with bar-to-bar comparisons between the different versions of the symphony only in Japanese; short essay on the symphony by William Carragan as well as notes on the conductor and the orchestra also in English. Recorded: March 25-28, 1991 / Brucknerhaus, Linz. Phonographic Copyright (p) 1995
