he was an excellent champion of Bruckner, in an era when that was rare.
It just my opinion that in the intervening decades, Bruckner interpretation has significantly developed, and at the same time has resulted in, for many, a different view as to the various editions.
In the cases of the 3rd, 4th, and 8th in particular, I feel that Bruckner's first thoughts are now the most compelling, and alternatively, that the rather brutal cuts his own uncertainty and external pressures brought on him are detrimental when the symphonies are in the right hands.
Look in particular at the recent recording of the original 4th by Kent Nagano on Sony, and also at Herreweghe's original instruments 4th, 5th and 7th. Even Vanska gets into this action, with his original 3rd on Hyperion and a version of the original 4th coming soon on BIS.
Not many people have heard Kempe in Bruckner, and I feel he is far more interesting than Jochum, or even Karajan. His Dresden 8th is awaiting the approval of his wife for imminent release on Testament.
