Conductor Eugen Jochum and the unique sound of the Staatskapelle Dresden document the outstanding importance of the conductor as an interpreter of Bruckner – and not only as an orchestra leader. Jochum dealt intensively with the questions of the various symphony versions and is considered the first conductor to interpret Bruckner in an unadulterated way. "The "Romantic" benefits in particular from the beautiful sound of the Dresden horns, which introduce the work with a serenity and calm that never sounds falsely heroic... The sheer beauty of Jochum's sound has its own heartbreak. The strings, sometimes pushed to the extreme by the speed at which they land at the end of one of Jochum's accelerations, are always crisp and strong, just as they should be." (Paul Corfield Godfrey, MusicWeb International)
