Camerata 33CM-379-80 - Bruckner Symphony No. 2

This recording has been added on two accounts. The original project that Camerata undertook was to record the 1872 first concept and 1873 first performance editions of the Bruckner Symphony # 2. After the sessions were over, Kurt Eichhorn wanted to record another version of the finale that amalgamated some of Bruckner's later thoughts - mostly dating from 1876. So instead of clarifying issues, it just muddied the water by introducing yet another amalgamated version. But what really gets this set listed here is how Camerata packaged it. The 1872 & 1873 performances were released on a two CD set (15CM-195-96). They then released this set with the 1872 version and coupled the amalgamated finale with some rehearsal material. If you went ahead and bought the complete symphony set, you would now have THREE copies of the 1872 edition.
