Dipason D’Or review of Bruckner 7

Diapason D'Or

Jean-Claude Hulot

"On the orchestral level this new version impresses by its fluid perfection and the pure beauty of the timbres. Served by a sound recording that is both precise and warm, the luminosity

of the ensemble is right up there with the best … The homogeneity of the strings, especially in the first movement, is exemplary, and the Allegro unfolds with with radiant clarity. Paavo Järvi's interpretation is of the highest calibre. Under his imaginative and inspiring baton, the Tonhalle Orchestra, whose Brucknerian tradition was established by Volkmar Andreae and continued by the greatest (Böhm, Kempe, among others), rivals the most prestigious orchestras."
