I do not have the Bruckner but I want to note that, although there were few classical DVD-As, many are outstanding. Kempe's Strauss, Previn's Messiaen, etc.
Noted. I have them both, plus all of Abbado and Barenboim's Beethoven cycles, Kleiber's Beethoven, Aimard's Messiaen, Harnoncourt's Bach, and Chailly's Mahler 8.

So I think I am missing:
Giulini's Bruckner
Chailly's Mahler 2
Ozawa's Strauss (easily findable)
Harnoncourt's Dvorak (ditto)

Perhaps Alsop's Brahms on Naxos?

Anything else which is of the first rank as performance?

Yes. One of the things that annoy me is the assumption that the name of a classical title is sufficient to identify the recording. That is very rarely the case.

Sorry everyone,

Just a simple joiner at heart.

Just reading the CD it says Opus 36 (1976) the conductor was David Zinman. London sinfonietta.

hope that helps and I am not making too much of a fool of myself.

Shaun

PS

It didn't go down too well on the construction site! Mind you Radio 4 didn't either.

The one conducted by the composer on PolskieRadio SACD (http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/3931) and on Lipinksi Blu-ray (http://lipinskisound.com/products/gorecki-symphony-no-3-symphony-of-sorrowful-songs/).

You may need 3 more DSP8000s as I have not heard it in stereo. whistle

Kal

Not sure if it's only me, but sadly I can't find anywhere that sells the CD or the Blu-ray disc - please help.

Cheers
