I have been getting into Bruckner Third lately and Ive been trying to find some decent recordings.  Jochum Berlin version I have is a bit too hurried.  I would prefer something more articulate and with a bit more finesse.  Any suggestions?

I did not comment in this thread as I did not particularly appreciate Symphony No.3 (or Symphony No.6 at that matter). I always feel that the Third symphony is kind of too much “pop” symphony.  It turned out that I just did not hear it properly performed.  During the last week  John Berky’s Brucknerathon I heard the Hans Zender playing it live with SWR Symphony Orchestra. That was one of those “Holly Cow!!!” performances and it was VERY different Third from anything else that that I heard. Move to dumpster pretty much any Bruckner Third that you have and get the Hans Zender version. As far as I understand John Berky is the only person from whom it is possible to get.  John runs site www.abruckner.com and it shell be his contact information in there…. It is not doing to be SACD but it will be much better – it will be recording of live FM event and in addition it will be a stunning take of the Bruckner Third.
