Que coincidencia! I reviewed that disc for ClassicsToday.com. Insiders, go check out the sound clip comparisons with the (excellent) Celibidache. Here is my review:
CD From Hell: Ballot’s Vile Bruckner Sixth
Artistic Quality: 3
Sound Quality: 7
Rémy Ballot has no affinity for music. There I’ve said it. How this self-styled Bruckner “specialist” managed to swindle his way into leading the Upper Austrian Youth Orchestra in live recordings of Bruckner’s symphonies is one of those anomalies that only general deafness or, more probably, access to funding, can explain. Ballot’s sole purpose in life seems to be to play this music even more slowly than Sergiu Celibidache, only with this difference: the Romanian conductor knew what he was doing, while Ballot evidently does not.
It’s not just that Ballot takes nearly seventy minutes to get through this, Bruckner’s shortest and perkiest mature symphony, nor that the circumstances of live recording in the cavernous acoustic of St. Florian monastery play havoc with the music’s internal balances. Tempos in the quicker bits are in fact plausible, if slow, except in the lethally flaccid scherzo. No, the problem is that Ballot stretches out Bruckner’s theoretically “singing” second subjects to ungodly lengths, preventing the music from ever taking flight or, heaven forbid, dancing that way that it should.
Compare Ballot to Celibidache in the finale’s second subject. The latter sings, and more importantly, moves, whereas Ballet just get slower, and heavier, and duller. The Adagio lasts more than twenty-one minutes, and is virtually unlistenable. There really is no excuse for indulging this kind of unmusical nonsense before a live audience, never mind on a recording. Ballot’s intrepid orchestra of talented kids isn’t great, but somehow manages to get through it. That brings the rating up to a 3. Let’s face it though: this isn’t music. It’s child abuse. Someone call social services and get this guy off the podium.

Dave, as I write this , it is now Friday October 20, 2023. This afternoon I attended a performance of this Symphony with The Philadelphia Orchestra under Mirga Grazinte-Tyla. Before the concert there was a lecture given by a young cover conductor for the Orchestra. She cited your analysis with great admiration and used much of it as an important guide to the Symphony. Just wanted you to know this. Dave, people are watching and listening!
@DavesClassicalGuide
Wow, thank you. I had no idea.
@theartstraveler3162
I think your videos need to come with a warning that they are highly addictive. They really are terrific. I have discovered so many recordings based on your recommendations. I wish you would do one on the solo piano of Debussy particularly the two books of Préludes.
@DavesClassicalGuide
Oh, that will happen, I promise.
@Infidelio
I couldn't agree more.
@DenianArcoleo
Another nod in agreement here. Love listening to his recommendations.
@bluetortilla
He has a very fresh and joyful approach to music, even when he's complaining (which we all love :D). Thanks for making life better Mr. Hurwitz and reigning in our understanding of the order and chaos of classical music.
@iggyreilly2463
Blomstedt and the San Francisco Symphony is my favorite. Thanks for devoting a video to this masterful symphony. It is my favorite Bruckner work.
@rolandonavarro3170
Dear Mr. Hurwit: Thank you for this interesting master class about Bruckner Sixth. It´s one of my favorite. I hope you do the same with No. 8. For me, it´s the pinacle of the symphonic art. Best Regards from Venezuela.
@bluetortilla
I love the 8th too. Especially the finale. Bruckner really shows Wagner how it's done (though I think Wagner was already dead by then).
