It's the "old style" brass playing, generally louder and more expressive, here also captured with multiple close microphones. That style presisted in some East German or Russian orchestras until the 80s, particularly Staatskapelle Dresden and Staatskapelle Berlin, where it even kind of evolved into its own thing. This is why some people like the Jochum/Dresden Bruckner cycle, which I personally find slightly over the top.What makes the brass sound like this sometimes? When I hear it I instantly recognize it as "Mid 20th century Hollywood brass"
Bruckner trying to conduct for the first time was probably a factor here, the rest is just politics. This stupid Brahms vs Wagner war was just the earliest example of such conflicts. A few decades later basically all high art was consumed by this cliquish mentality, where the work itself becomes completely unimportant and instead the chattering classes only care if it's by "our guy" or "one of the bad ones". This basically corresponds with the end of wealthy aristocratic patrons having any influence and the emergence of mass "intelligentsia" and state-funded institutions.Crazy how this work was mocked and belittled on it's first performance. I know the orchestra in question didn't like wagnerian-influenced music but how can you listen to this and not think it's even of a little value?
Reminds me of Morton Feldman's For Samuel Beckett.I've recently been getting into the works of Tomasz Sikorski (1939-1988 ), who is pretty much unknown outside Poland
some of his 1970s works have a strange kind of personal resonance with me - if I had been a classical composer, this is the kind of music I'd have written

your man's 1970s works have a lot in common with Morton Feldman's last works, though they predate Feldman's last works by 10-15 yearsReminds me of Morton Feldman's For Samuel Beckett.

The first one reminds me a little bit of PerotinNow that much of ECM is available on Youtube, I can post the Hillard Ensemble / Jan Garbarek's very free adaptation of Antoine Brumel's "Agnus Dei" that has haunted me all these years. Unfortunately I still cannot find the mass from which this movement comes from.

This is their beautiful arrangement of Morales's Parce Mihi Domine.

Does Hilliard do HIP? I know there's an assemble that does HIP and it sounds middle eastern to western earsThe Hilliard did that piece too.

They most decidedly didn't (past tense because they've call it quits), although their tenor John Potter is a renowned researcher of vocal music over the ages.Does Hilliard do HIP?
Could be a matter of intonation.I know there's an assemble that does HIP and it sounds middle eastern to western ears
The album review guy?Saw that one gay jewish boomer youtuber who talks about classical music shit on this recording, no clue what's wrong with it. I guess Szell's style is something that you either like or don't. I for one quite like it. Just feels weird to call this one recording uniquely bad.
