Warning: this real event should not go unnoticed. Between 2005 and 2012, Herbert Blomstedt gave Leipzig a complete set of Bruckner’s symphonies which Radio MDR recorded and which the orchestra then released on SACD on its Querstand label. These confidential and poorly distributed discs quickly became overpriced second-hand, then untraceable, and the complete album acquired the status of a myth. It is true that the orchestra has a great Brucknerian culture and that the conductor knows how to make this music sound perfectly. Blomstedt is also interested in musicological research, imposing the Carragan version of the 2e Symphony, which he presented with the OSM in 2007 during a memorable concert. Accentus now unites this dense integral at a decent price and simply makes it exist! We forget the multichannel SACD; they are CDs, but the music is there and reveals the greatest Brucknerian integral since Günter Wand (RCA), complementary by the use of sometimes different scores.
