February 23, 1975 Stockholm Concert Hall Live
This is the first disc of Jochum + Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. 1975 was exactly the middle period between the indifference of his later years when he began conducting from a seated position and the dynamic approach full of horsepower in his prime years. I would say that this is an impeccable performance that not only has a gentle flavor but also has the dramatic nature of his youth. It can be said that this method of expression is perfect for this song, which can be seen as too moderate among Bruckner's masterpieces. Of course, "Romantic" was the master's favorite song, but when it comes to live performances, it is only the one from the same year at the Concertgebouw.
The sound of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra is different from that of France, Russia, or England, but it can be said to be modern, full of clarity and agility, close to the functional beauty of the German radio orchestra. Includes liner notes in English, Japanese, and German. Performance time:[17:56][16:08][5:54][10:17]
