Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 / Wagner: Meistersinger Prelude

"Goodall has a reputation as a slow-motion conductor, a kind of Celibidache without the mystic aura. This release shows that the reputation isn't necessarily the truth. It offers a lovely, singing performance of the Bruckner with the BBC and a hearty, if not necessarily polished, reading of the Wagner." - Chakwin, ARG
