Gunter Wand Edition Part II
I got this from Shun Cheong the other day and only got a chance to see one of the discs today. It was Bruckner No.7. I didn't have time to listen to the whole symphony. I just listened to the second movement. It was magnificent. It is amazing to see Wand conducting Bruckner. He was a natural Brucknerian. The tempo he took was fast (contrary to Celibidache - both are good recordings). This set is not expensive - just under HKD600 for 4 DVDs. HK Records was selling at over HKD700. Got to find a holiday to finish Part I and II together (Part I got Bruckner No. 5, 6, 8 and 9. Part II got Bruckner No. 4 and 7 plus Schubert's symphony 5, 8 and 9 and Brahms Symphony No.1). Good bargain.

let me get one later... thanks!^^
Oh, even I got this set I never realise SC is selling at this price. (! ~ because I bought other stuff together and never track back the receipt~!)
If you really like Bruckner I think you could still find Part I in SC, which is released just last year.
btw, temple => tempo?
I went with a friend who is a member, so I got some discount.
I got Part I last year already.
Yes, you're right. What a typo!
