As Heard at Schoenberg's Private Performances...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 08/07/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"
This is the type of arrangement presented at Schoenberg's post-WW1 Society for the Private Performance of Music, wherein large orchestral works were reduced for chamber performance.



This piece ties in the Bruckner-Mahler-Schoenberg connection which Dika Newlin has pointed out."
Mahler's Bruckner transcription!

"This disc represents the Mahler's piano transcrpition of Bruckner's symphony No.3 for 4 hands. It is truly a very interesting and impressive disc. Mahler attended Bruckner's lectures for a while and was an active promoter of his works.
The interpretation could be better. It lacks some fire, drive and monumentalness, but its a nice performance anyway. I think also the microphones where placed a little too far, so you don't really get that directness and fullness of sound. The sound is good quality, but just turn it up loud when you listen to it.
It is a very important and rare document to anyones Bruckner or Mahler collection."
For the Bruckner obsessed...

"Have you been dying to hear Bruckner's 3rd Symphony played on two pianos? Well, my friend, you are in luck. Here it is, arranged by Mahler no less. And it sounds like... Bruckner's 3rd Symphony played on two pianos. I don't think the fact that Mahler did the arrangement makes much difference -- it would have sounded like this whoever did it (unless maybe Busoni, Godowsky, or Berio took a shot at it...) If you can't get enough Anton B (like me), you'll find this an interesting diversion one or two times and something to occasionally amuse and/or annoy your friends and neighbors with. I wouldn't say these performers really tear into this the way perhaps a truly repressed Bruckner-obsessed pianist would... but they certainly get the job done.... also, this is a much better listen than the chamber arrangement of the Bruckner 7th released by this same label awhile ago, which sounded like a pitiful second-cousin to the orchestral version... the piano duo Bruckner 3rd is more of a likeable uncle.
