5.0 out of 5 stars A Pioneering Recording Nearly Forgotten, May 3 2002

By	NNNNN "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) - See all my reviews

Carlo Maria Giulini has managed to confound the critics throughout his career. Just as they thought they could pigeonhole him he would go in a totally different direction. From Italian opera to Britten or Franck to Bruckner. Giulini has given us very fine recordings of the 7th , 8th and 9th symphonies but his first recorded Bruckner was far from a safe choice. It is this recording from 1975 of the rarely played then , and even now, 2nd Symphony for EMI using the 1877 version edited by Leopold Nowak. Far too many performances of this work seem tentative as if the conductor is not quite sure what to make of it. Giulini does not have that problem finding a nobility and vitality in this work that makes no excuses for it and puts it on par with Bruckner's later works. Testament, under license from EMI, is owed a hearty thank for restoring this recording to circulation. It was deleted rather fast in the 1970's when most listeners then found it hard to associate Giulini and Bruckner. That barrier was broken by his subsequent Bruckner recordings. Hopefully listeners will now discover this forgotten gem.
