Point 2650102 - Bruckner: Symphony No. 9

This recording (claimed to be conducted by Cesare Cantieri) has shown up under the name of several conductors. Most recently, it has surfaced on a Spanish Zafiro LP (ZTV-75) where the conductor is Denis Zsoltay. Nevertheless, in every guise and format, the recording opens with the third movement, followed by the scherzo and then concludes with the adagio all over again. Up until June of 2014, we never found the first movement.

UPDATE # 1: Since informing the company of the error on this CD, they have changed the performance. The more recent CDs still have Cantieri's name on the back tray card but the booklet front now credits Evgeny Mravinsky and the Leningrad Philharmonic. In fact, the company has substituted the Mravinsky performance of January 30, 1980 for the defective Scholz recording.

UPDATE # 2: In June of 2014, by a very strange coincidence of auditioning recordings, it was determined that some of the South German Philharmonic recordings were actually performed by the SW German Radio Symphony Orchestra. A check of the SWF archives showed a Bruckner 9th recorded during the mid 60s by Stanislaw Skrowaczewski. The performance was compared to the Point CD and it was clear that the Skrowaczewski performance was the same as the "South German Philharmonic" recording. The recording has been identified and the first movement has been located!!
