5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, 3 April 2006

By	Dr. Paul R. Terry (Bedworth, Warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This performance was obviously a very special event. The Vienna Philharmonic gave the world premiere of the symphony in 1891, and the Monastery was Bruckner's home for many years before he moved to Vienna : indeed, he is buried beneath the very church where this performance was given. The special intensity comes across extremely well, and everyone gives of their best, not just the performers, but also the camera team under the experienced direction of Brian Large. For me, the high point is the climax of the slow movement (bar 239), where the sound of the Orchestra seems somehow even more sumptuous than before, and the camera comes to rest on the conductor's face, as Boulez allows the stunning impact of Bruckner's symphonic concept to make its point in the acoustic that he surely had in mind when composing his epic works.

The accompanying documentary track makes some fascinating points both about Bruckner himself, and Boulez' interpretation of the Symphony. Altogether, a noble reading captured in excellent sound, and with clear 'unfussy' camera work.
