No one knows what precisely was on Bruckner's mind with the terrifying lead section of the Scherzo - premonitions, perhaps, of some of the coming horrors of the 20th century?
This is an exquisite performance. Deliberating on my experience, it becomes apparent that opportunities to immerse myself in the auditory grandeur of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony are exceedingly scarce. This scarcity is not merely confined to the renditions led by Volkhard Steude. Indeed, the symphonies of Beethoven, those paragons of orchestral composition, seldom grace my ear, irrespective of the medium, be it compact disc, youtube movie, or FM broadcast.
