„Cut or Uncut?“

In 2024, Anton Bruckner would have turned 200 years old. Instead of promoting the 100th release for the Bruckner Year with flowery but ultimately helpless advertising slogans, we aim to stimulate reflection on production processes in classical music with a special release. What is the essence of a recording?

Die 7. Sinfonie von Anton Bruckner zweimal in voller Länge, jeweils auf einer CD. Eine Live-Aufnahme (Uncut) und eine produzierte, geschnittene (Cut) unter identischen Aufnahmebedingungen. Das bedeutet, das Urteil wird nicht durch unterschiedliche Verhältnisse bei den Aufnahmen beeinträchtigt. Vergleichen Sie!

We are very happy that András Keller and Concerto Budapest, with whom we have enjoyed a fruitful collaboration for many years (this is already the 8th recording), agreed to make this project possible! What's more, this juxtaposition only came about through intensive dialogue after the recordings. More on this in the booklet.

András Keller follows an unbroken European tradition that stretches far into the past century, perhaps even back to Anton Bruckner. The way the strings play, the sensual melodic lines in all the instruments, the vocal quality even in furios passages are touchingly old-fashioned and yet timelessly modern. And the monumental arcs and crescendos in Anton Bruckner's music are tailor-made for each listener's question to themselves: What do I want from a recording? What moves me more, live or produced, cut or uncut?
