5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful performance, 10 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Like all these Wand BPO Bruckner discs this is indispensable . A wonderful sense of the architecture of the piece is revealed without any pulling about of tempi or ponderous speeds .It is a truly spiritual reading

I would urge buyers to snap up the oh so different and thrilling Barbirolli on BBC legends as well if they can afford it

5.0 out of 5 stars Can there be a better Bruckner recording?, 3 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Arguably the world's greatest conductor of the "core" Austro-German repertoire continues his latest traversal of the Bruckner symphonies with this extraordinary reading of the 8th Symphony, recorded in the Berlin Philharmonie in January 2001, a few weeks after his 89th birthday. The fire of inspiration burns as brightly as ever, the orchestra play like angels and the recording quality could hardly be improved upon. Wand regards this symphony not as a "romantic" work, but as a large classical symphony whose structure must be respected and adhered to. The result should win over even hardline Bruckner-sceptics. A bargain, and already a historic recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly revelation, 5 May 2007
By G. R. Voisey "wellaar" (Brixham UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It has taken me years to appreciate the music of Bruckner. Had this recording been around 40 odd years ago, things would have been different. It is a truly revelatory performance. The detail is precise with out being prissy. The full range of sound is superb. If there is a Heaven then it must sound like this. It seems such a short work when one listens to it. Only later does one realize that it last just short of a hour and a half.
