Negative Positive
Title: Not up to the competition
Review: Jarvi's Bruckner 7 doesn't come together for me the way Bohm, Haitink or Vonk does. Jarvi sounds episodic in the outer movements making the music too compartmentalized. Jarvi focuses too much over details at the expense of flow. The orchestra plays very well and the sound is very good but that isn't enough. Check out the St. Louis Symphony website for Vonk's wonderful performance.
