※ 引述《Piaf (...)》之銘言： : There is an article about the 1887/1890 Bruckner 8th in Ben Korstvedt's : book. Worth reading.I agree with Fassbaender: this book is really a good : one, although the reviews in amazon.com are pretty terrible. The full score : of the 1887 version can be achieved in Schott-Eulenberg Miniature Scores : edition (USD 25). I must clarify my review of Prof. Korstvedt's book. First, it's a good book for those who are interested in the background of this master piece (Bruckner's 8th), since Prof. Korstvedt followed a rigorous method to investigate the problems behind this symphony. In this book readers can find several tabulated data, plenty references, and clear argument. However, I am not completely convinced by Prof. Korstvedt's argument about the Haas edition. It is widely known that Haas's Edition is based on the 1890 manuscript, inserted some material by 1887 version. But, (and this is a BIG BUT), Prof. Korstvedt used some exaggerate terms when describing this which is terribly misleading. For example, he wrote: "his edition does not include any scholarly apparatus nor does the introduction adequately explain this edtorial intervention." He also applied some patriotic terms to strengthen his argument against Haas edition, and this should not have happened in an academic article. He tends to link Prof. Robert Haas to the Nazi Party, and National Socialism, then went to conclude ...what so ever, and finally he implied that the Haas edition should be forbidden. I cannot agree this at all. Most people would agree Haas edition still has its meaning in the studies of Bruckner's music. (The American people are more patriotic then you can imagine. You can almost see the TV programs blameing on those who they regard as "Center of EVIL", "TYRANT", and "NOTORIOUS BARBARIANS" every day. Terrible!) Therefore, when you are reading this book, don't forget to read Deryck Cooke and Robert Simpson's book, to get a fair balance on the Haas/Nowak issue. I know I went too far from the title that I initially set. Maybe I can end this series of article by correctting another mis-labeled recording. Karl Boehm/VPO/Bruckner Symphony no. 8 (1977, DG Gallery Series) Actually it's Nowak Edition, not Haas edition as printed on the back cover. -- Piaf @ PTT; klem/Dutchman elsewhere. ※ 編輯: Piaf 來自: 204.39.226.207 (02/08 11:31) ※ 編輯: Piaf 來自: 204.39.227.67 (02/08 12:31)
