	Classical Notes - Georg Tintner - The Gift to Be Simple, By Peter Gutmann
		Tintner notes that her husband, himself a composer, felt it a matter of integrity to adhere to the written score as the inviolate conception of the composer himself and to scrupulously avoid one's own indulgence.
		Tintner's liner notes aptly observe, this is gentle and subtle stuff that has passed largely out of fashion; even the Violin Concerto is rhapsodic and restrained throughout, with barely a hint of the contrast and interplay between solo and orchestra that typifies the genre.
		Tintner's favorite among these composers was Lilburn, but mine is Coulthard (a protege of Benjamin); her ballet is evocative and bittersweet yet winningly light-hearted, and especially welcome coming from that extreme rarity, a female composer.

		Tintner’s interpretation is perhaps the most noble of all as the unyielding brass announces the thematic subject with great conviction and prominence, yet with an unsurpassed calmness.
		Tintner observes the semi-climax that ends the development skillfully, for it is the end of the development (with a reappearance of the characteristic rhythm of the theme) that curiously provides the energy required to catapult the music into the recapitulation.
		Tintner continues to maintain a good balance between the strings and the woodwind in the calm and withdrawn environ, setting the stage for the one of the broadest coda ever written by Bruckner.

	Independent, The (London): Obituary: Georg Tintner
		TEN YEARS ago, Georg Tintner was merely one of a relatively anonymous cohort of conductors with a reputation among a handful of specialists and a few favoured audiences scattered far from the musical capitals of the world.
		In 1966-67 Tintner was in South Africa as Music Director of the Cape Town Municipal Orchestra, but this lifelong socialist, vegan and pacifist found the apartheid regime more than he could tolerate and, despite the offer of a long-term contract, he left, moving on to London where he conducted at Sadler's Wells for three years.
		Tintner's style on the podium was unorthodox: the conductor Gary Brain, who played under him in New Zealand, remembers an awkward technique that recalled Furtwangler's, with no baton and a beat that was more suggestion than indication; Brain also recalls Tintner as strict in his maintenance of orchestral discipline.

	Anton Bruckner: Symphony No.5 in B flat major - Georg Tintner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tintner, to me, lacks the quality of a true Brucknerian, seemingly coasting through the symphony in a superficial and simplistic manner.
		In the development section of the First Movement, Tintner noticed that the Allegro is twice interupted by Adagio quotations from the introduction.
		The tempos and fluctuations that Maestro Tintner employed puzzled me. The adagio is rather quite "poco" and then it presumed with "Moderato" all the way until the Coda (the only fast ones were the fanfare themes).

	BRUCKNER: The Symphonies Tintner: Classical CD Reviews-June 2000 Music on the Web(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tintner (born 1917), like so many musicians, fled his native Austria before the Nazi threat and made a worthwhile but largely unnoticed career in Australasia, Canada and, occasionally, Europe.
		It is surely a tribute to Tintner's skill in preparing the performance, since this orchestra can hardly have played the music many times, if at all, before 1996 when the recording was made.
		Tintner leaves it out, opting instead for full sonority, a decision which the orchestra and the Naxos engineers justify to the full.

	classical music - andante - volume two of naxos's tintner memorial edition
		Georg Tintner had the misfortune to come of age professionally just as the evil shadow of Fascism was sweeping across Europe.
		Given Tintner's credentials as a Brucknerian, it is no surprise that he takes a broad approach to Schubert, one of Bruckner's Viennese forerunners.
		Still, Tintner's grasp of the symphony's sprawling form is apparent and he does a nice job of bringing out interesting details in the wind parts without skewing overall balances.

	SoundStage! Georg Tintner - Bruckner
		Tintner, in his lucid and enlightening liner note (would that other conductors did likewise), points out that the Haas edition, for all its lack of strict musicological integrity, presents us with the "best of both worlds." He goes on, however, to note that the 1887 version "written without interference from anyone...shows an almost primitive spontaneity."
		The adagio is, for Tintner, "with that of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the greatest symphonic slow movement ever written." With a sure hand, he shapes its half-hour extent magnificently, with each climax carefully judged and the dynamics beautifully molded so that the whole forms an enormous arch during which the attention never falters for a moment.
		Tintner yields to none in his architectural feel for the movement (and the work as a whole), yet there is no lack of detail nor excitement.

		In them, Georg Tintner conducts Symphony Nova Scotia, the orchestra of which he was Music Director from 1987 until his death in 1999.
		Tintner talks at more length about Schumann’s Second and this time he gets the orchestral brass to provide a brief musical illustration of one of his points.
		As to the performance itself, in Tintner’s experienced hands the first movement introduction is atmospheric but, as he had warned us, the music of the main allegro is rather unmemorable, though it’s well enough played here.

		According to Tintner, the Ninth contains Bruckner’s greatest music: “The mystery and horror of death permeates these three movements.” The first movement is punctuated by a series of “desperate outcries” in the horns while the strings calmly but relentlessly increase the intensity.
		A few years ago another conductor at the end of his career, Kurt Eichhorn, undertook a Bruckner cycle and was celebrated as a master of this notoriously difficult to perform music.
		Tintner has been more fortunate and the rest of his Bruckner recordings will appear over the next six months.

		Tintner's "take" of the Third Symphony makes a powerful case for regarding this work as, indeed, Bruckner in the major phase of his creativity.
		Tintner also respects the composer's initial version of the score, from which he later (on well meant but misguided advice from friends) excised hundred of bars.
		Indeed, Tintner's approach to the work is to couple the large-scale structure to the minutae of the melodic content; this requires a solid framework of tempos without being stolid.

		Naxos is to be commended for putting the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at the disposal of Viennese-born Georg Tintner for its recent round of Bruckner recordings, which includes this inspired account of the Seventh Symphony.
		Tintner, whose death by suicide in October 1999 left many in the music world with a deep sense of loss, was an old-school Brucknerian with a master's ear for texture and an infallible sense of pacing and rubato.
		Tintner uses the Haas edition of the score (Bruckner lovers disagree passionately over editions, but, generally speaking, the Haas edition is superior to the later Nowak), and rightly eschews the cymbal crash at the climax of the Andante.

		Tintner's `take' on him is serene rather than bombastic, and that is my own personal reason for preferring this performance to more intense renderings that may appeal more to some committed Brucknerians.
		Tintner gives us his own view of the symphony in a liner-note that I found very interesting and rather touching too.
		In the course of his remarks on the symphony, Tintner naturally goes into the question of authenticity in the score, arguing in support of his adoption of the version by Robert Haas.

	Classical Net Review - Bruckner - Complete Symphonies
		Tintner's orchestras, dependable as they are, don't have Bruckner's music coursing through their veins the way that the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic do.
		All the same, Tintner achieves a rare synergy: he knows how to get the best out of an orchestra, and he knows how to shape Bruckner's phrases, build his movements, and construct his symphonies.
		Tintner, while a master artisan, doesn't lack aesthetic taste, and sections such as the close of the Eighth Symphony's slow movement are as introspective and as philosophical as one could wish them to be.

		The incisive notes are written by Tintner himself and they are illuminating without having too many purely musical terms to bewilder the musically untrained.
		Some of maestro Tintner's interpretive touches are felicitous and I was aware when relistening to these symphonies of how completely Georg Tintner had grasped the essential otherworldliness of Anton Bruckner.
		Georg Tintner -before his unfortunate suicide in Canada in 1999 by self-defenestration (he had very painful cancer) - was music director of Symphony Nova Scotia and his conducting of Delius almost rivals that of Beecham and Sargent.
