Fond memories that prove true........2002-04-23

Jochum's 1949 recording in Hamburg (reissued on DG Originals) was my introduction to the Bruckner 8th; this recording -- on Angel lps -- was the first I ever owned. In fact, I still have the lps, but I find the sound more glowing, more richly rewarding, in this reissue.

In some ways, I prefer the sound of this recording to von Karjan's final version with the VPO. I can't deny the majesty of that final account, but the more distant, analog recording of this 1958 Berlin issue offers consolations in string, wind, and what should be called bronze, rather than brass -- sounds seldom heard on earth, let alone on disc.

The Brahms and Hindemith serve as noble preludes to Bruckner -- a fine set from start to finish.

the best Bruckner recording.......2001-08-16

It's a great recording - the best Bruckner recording made by Karajan. The performance is as beauty and aesthetic as deep and heartly from the first to last sound.
