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 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 Awe-inspriring live performance!, 19 Dec 2007
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Interestingly, timing of each movement of this awe-inspiring recording by Wand is almost idential to Karajan's 1957 EMI stereo recording, another powerful recording of the 8th played by BPO. But from the very bold opening Wand's determination to dig even deeper into soul of the music and to soar even higher to the transcendent is obvious. The only weakness in this performance may be the less emphatic ending which loses tention at the last moment, while Karajan manages to close the symphony with decisive force. The recording quality is amazingly vivid and present. They should have left ovation at the end. Must have been monumental event!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly revelation
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. Read more
