Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference

Anton Bruckner

Symphonies 4, 7

Herbert von Karajan
Berlin Philharmonic

3LP Box Set

His Master's Voice SLS-811 3LP Box Set 1971 (UK)

Between 1975 and 1981, Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic recorded legacy-worthy performances for Deutsche Grammophon of Anton Bruckner's nine numbered symphonies. From conducting the symphonies for over four decades, Karajan learned to control and sustain the rhythmic pulse over a long time frame, and this became his special claim to fame in Bruckner: a serious challenge most other conductors wouldn't take up and a goal Karajan constantly strove to achieve. As a result of his concentrated efforts and of maintaining a clear focus on Bruckner's symphonic trajectories by directing all the music's mounting energies to a cathartic release at the end, these performances are regarded by many as belonging in a class by themselves and impossible to overrate for their unity, coherence, and clarity. Of course, any large symphonic cycle can and should be interpreted in different ways, and the great recordings by Eugen Jochum, Günter Wand, and Georg Tintner are alternatives for listeners who dislike Karajan's driven conducting, and have won admirers for their transparent sound and somewhat more gemütlich style. But Karajan's Bruckner is robust and imposing, and these performances command respect, even if they aren't universally loved.
