5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Bruckner From A German Master Much Missed, 1 Dec 2004
By PhilsterNo1 (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I saw Wand conduct this work when he was 89 and the ovation he received upon entering the hall would please most at the end of the concert. The BPO live recordings of Symphonies 8 and 9 are required listening and those who have not yet acquired the Ninth can now by it at under a tenner. The rendition is utterly sublime, beautifully captured at Philharmonie in the late 1990s. It is more expressive than Barenboim's admired BPO recording, with Wand pacing the outer movements with greater success (though Barenboim's scherzo is incomparable). Those already in possession of the Karajan or Haitink would do well to get this one too.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good Bruckner 9, but not Wand's absolute best, 4 Sep 2007
By Mr. Christian Hoskins (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There has arguably been no finer interpreter of Bruckner's 9th Symphony over the last few decades than Günter Wand, and a number of his performances have been issued on CD. This particular version was recorded live in September 1998 and collectors may well be tempted by the fact that the orchestra is the Berlin Philharmonic, with whom Wand worked with fairly regularly in the last decade of his life.

The performance of the 9th Symphony in this 1998 recording is warm, powerful and profound. The 86 year old Wand secures superb playing from all departments of the orchestra, and the recording quality is excellent.

However, there are at least three performances of Bruckner's 9th which I think are even finer. First and foremost among these is Wand's performance with the Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra, dating from 1979. It is a dramatic, powerful reading and an emotionally engulfing experience. Currently only available as part of a collected edition of the nine Bruckner symphonies, the quality of the 1979 performance almost justifies the purchase of the whole set.

Another outstanding version is Carlo Maria Giulini's 1998 recording with the Vienna Philharmonic. It is an immensely spacious, intense and spiritual performance. I've not heard a more moving version of the coda of the Adagio than the one on this recording.

Finally, there is Daniel Barenboim's 1991 performance with the Berlin Philharmonic, which finds a satisfying balance between the emotional power of the Cologne Wand performance and the spirituality of the Giulini. Like Wand's Cologne recording, it is currently only available as part of a nine disc set. However, Barenboim's set also has outstanding performances of symphonies 5 and 7 and is altogether very recommendable.

Although Wand's Berlin performance is impressive, ultimately I do find the other three versions more satisfying.
