Thank you for checking. The link that John provided to me sounds quite good, so I'm set for the time being.

I just sold my SACD on eBay last week. I may have ripped it previously, will check tomorrow.

EDIT - sadly I did not, I only have his M1, 3 and 5.

I’m flying up from Victoria to hear them next Saturday in the Elgar Violin Concerto and Vaughan Williams’ ‘A Pastoral Symphony’. Two of my favourite works.

I think having the V.P.O. doing Bruckner 8 will make any conductor sound great. Think of how they played it so idiomatically for Boulez, of all people! I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

As for Muti's Bruckner, I urge you to seek and listen to his recent Bruckner 8th with VPO. It will change your mind!^

Agreed on Jarvi's Bruckner. But I adore Andris Nelsons Bruckner cycle very much, particularly his Wagnerian style conducting recorded in utterly natural and gorgeous sound.

PS I attended a Bruckner 9th concert by Nelsons/Gewandhaus Leipzig in S.Korea two years ago. It was spellbinding and just as outstanding as the recording.

I saw that today also. It's a live performance. I imagine DG wanted to issue you more for the first work, which appeared to be sort of 'world music' like.

Barry,
    It's a longshot, but you may wish to see if your local library can do what's called an Interlibrary Loan. There may a library that will lend it to your local branch so you can borrow it. I've borowed a LOT of stuff, even certain boxed sets that way. It's a good service.
