The budget label made its critical breakthrough in the late 1990s with a cycle of Bruckner symphonies conducted by the little-known Canada-based conductor Georg Tintner. A Hitler exile from Vienna, Tintner brought idiomatic assurance to the works, cutting through their sometimes rambling argumentation.
But time stands still for no label.
Next month Naxos release its second Bruckner cycle, this one conducted by Markus Poschner with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and the ORF radio symphony orchestra.
Its other leading release features works by Tony Banks of the Genesis rock group.
