Customer Reviews of Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 - Wiener Philharmoniker
Best Bruckner 8 -- No Sweat! Although I was moved by Zubin Mehta's passionate performance of the Bruckner Eighth, (Israel Philharmonic), I didn't know what a huge, full sound could be. <
> <
>Mehta was dripping wet from his enthusiastic gyrations, even before the Adagio movement was finished. By the symphony's end, he was exhilarated, but exhausted. I thought it couldn't get any better than all this passion. BUT,---I had not seen and heard Herbert von Karajan's treatment. <
> <
>Von Karajan is totally involved with the music, but he never even breaks a sweat. Von Karajan had decades of performing Bruckner's Eight--even underground during the last days of the WWII bombing of Berlin, where von Karajan's orchestra served double-duty as musicians for half the day, and firemen putting out bomb-generated fires during the rest of their time. <
> <
>He has the supreme confidence of a master, who knows the music, knows how he wants to hear it, and knows that his orchestra is up to the task. <
> <
>I truly appreciate Zubin Mehta's passion and sweat, but Herbert von Karajan far surpasses all other performances in overpowering sound and passion without needing to break a sweat. This is THE performance of Bruckner's Eighth.
Excellent performance and sound, video leaves much to be desired
This performance rivals the Boulez as far as the performance goes. It may even surpass it. Sound is wonderful as well. However, most people don't buy a music video just for the music. With this in mind I have to say the filming of this video is nothing to write home about. Others have commented on this so I won't go into detail here.

>The Boulez video of Bruckner's 8th is the way to go if you want visual beauty to go along with his wonderful performance. Do keep in mind though that Karajan's performance with the Wiener Philharmoniker is about as good as it gets. And since Karajan's video costs alot less it should be seriously considered, even if you end up turning the TV off and just listen to the music. Yes. It is that good.
Herbert Von Karajan just IS the best !
I viewed other DVD's of Anton Bruckner's Symphony #8, and this one is actually the best available right now. The screen shots are very well done. SONY music recordings are truely the best. SONY means great sound, and Von Karajan means a great performance. BUY THIS ONE !
