Comment:

In 1981, Deutsche Grammophone released their third Bruckner cycle on LP. The release (2740 253) featured Daniel Barenboim conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This was the first Bruckner cycle featuring an American orchestra and the first cycle by Deutsche Grammophon to include the early Symphony in D Minor. However, from its initial LP and then CD release in the 1980’s until 2009, the Barenboim/Chicago Symphony Bruckner cycle - not to be confused with Barenboim’s later cycle (1-9) on Teldec with the Berlin Philharmonic – was out-of-print and gradually becoming a very rare collector’s item. Sets were selling on Ebay for several hundred dollars and even higher in Japan. Interesting - but what about the recordings themselves? In short, Daniel Barenboim's set is a major contribution to the Bruckner symphonic canon. I am particularly fond of his recording of the Eighth, which DG recorded with the nascent digital technology at the time (1980 or 1981). Barenboim tries to introduce the sense of mystery that Furtwangler had in his performances. The CSO strings and brass really soar. The French horn solo playing of retired CSO first horn Dale Clevenger is just as good as his counterpart in Berlin. Although in some of the symphonies my preference is still for Herbert von Karajan's intense Berlin readings, Barenboim's CSO set - much preferable to the one he made later on CD with the Berlin Philharmonic - has much to commend it.

** WORLDWIDE: actual fee for 6 albums will depend on whether the total shipping weight (pads and box included) is over 4 lbs.  If 4 lbs or less (the weight limit for this USPS service), fee is $42 First Class International; if just over 4 lbs, fee is $54 Priority Mail International. Cost increases substantially beyond six albums/4 lbs., and automated eBay invoices are always too high and should be ignored – instead, buyer should request/wait for me to send correct combined invoice before submitting payment so as not to pay too much.

Additional services, such as insurance and registration, are extra. Insurance is NOT available for First Class International.  Priority Mail provides insurance. Parcels sent without insurance are at the buyer's own risk (for damage or loss).
