Press

(...) the great Bruckner on this disc is Ashkenazy and the Deutsche-Symphonie's performance of the Adagio from Bruckner's String Quintet transcribed for string orchestra by Fritz Oeser. The Adagio is top-drawer Bruckner from 1885 and Ashkenazy conducts it with the fervor of Furtwängler, the Deutsche-Symphonie plays it with the passion of the Vienna Philharmonic.
