Bruckner Symphony No 8 C minor Celibidache Mpo Mvt4 2 Finale Feierlich, nicht schnell

[gdbalck]

11:00 and beyond - Terror and Wonderment, Uplifted. I can't help but be moved, transported out of this carnal existence into the spiritual realm. That is the best I can do with words.

[CCESARANO4]

se non che la mia mente fu percossa da un fulgore in che sua voglia venne. A l'alta fantasia qui mancò possa; ma già volgeva il mio disio e 'l velle, sì come rota ch'igualmente è mossa,

l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.

Explicit Liber Comedie Dantis Alagherii de Florentia Paradiso Canto XXXIII

[Busillis67]

what an intensity, what a glory ... the whole of it and its final part, specifically, is to me as the approaching of a man to the eternal gates of heaven ... what you can feel here deep within is the process in itself, the final revelation is beyond the process, it's in a different level, no more music (i.e. the process, full, resplendent, the object which reflects itself into the subject), only the silence, to be filled but subjectively...

[martytrombone]

In my opinion the best interpretation ever, and a legendary performance. Bravo!Celibidache seems to have been the only conductor who had understood what 'feierlich, nicht schnell' really means.

7th heaven!

[Strefanasha]

THIS is how the coda of the last movement of the 8th should go:

HOLY AND TERRIBLE, full of the mysterium tremendum of Almighty God , which I firmly believe was Bruckner's goal.

but why those philistines in the audeince are not stunned speechless and have to defile the thing by their vain applause is beyond me

@Strefanasha look at Celibidache's face and you know he thinks about this auditorium

[worldviolist]

I'm always astonished by how committed this orchestra was under Celi... one might not always agree with the man, but that orchestra... wow. Gives "burnished tone" a whole new meaning!

[herodot2]

Magic. What Celibidache does from 10:53 is beyond this world.
