4.0 out of 5 stars A very good Bruckner 4, but not outstanding, 27 Aug 2007
By Mr. Christian Hoskins (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm not sure that the ideal recording of Bruckner's 4th Symphony exists, since no one conductor seems to give a consistently fine performance throughout all four movements. However, this Karajan recording from 1970 stands reasonably high among the dozen or so versions I know.

Karajan's first conducted the 4th Symphony in 1936 and therefore had been performing the work for over three decades by the time he made this recording. At 70 minutes, it's a spacious performance, some six minutes longer than the one he would record for DG in 1975. The first three movements are very well done: majestic and exciting but not overblown. The only time the tempo seems slow is in the finale, which lacks tension.

The recording quality is spacious and clear, although there's a slight touch of brashness in the brass sound. However, the clarity of the recording is a welcome surprise after hearing the muddy recording given to Karajan's contemperaneous EMI recording of the 7th symphony.

If forced to choose one version of the 4th, I would probably go for Wand's BPO recording, but given the choice I would have this one too.
