Where do I start with Bruckner?


The Expanding Man

Recommended Posts

Start with the symphonies. For budget sets, Tintner on Naxos or Jochum on EMI are great choices (I have both and prefer Jochum). Jochum also did another acclaimed cycle with DG but I've never heard it and it's more expensive. A lot of dedicated fans swear by Celibidache but his pacing is really slow, perhaps better suited for more mature Bruckner fans. For selected recordings, I believe Karajan had a few really excellent ones, but can't remember which. If you don't want an entire set, perhaps start with his 8th symphony, arguably the most famous one and my personal favourite.
