Ah, Bruckner. One of the few composers who could capture most if not the entire range of human emotions in a single hour long epic.

Thank you for the excellent upload; I heard it live a few months ago with the Cincinnati Symphony under the baton of Paavo Jarvi, but very few conductors have or will ever match maestro Karajan.

@meniged Yes, and what? Is this the reason for ban all Bruckner works? Shostakovich was a Soviet composer criticized by Stalin, and and I wonder if this means that Shostakovich was a "bad" composer. Mendelssohn's music was considered "Entartete Musik" only because its author was a Jew, just not for its quality. Masterpieces have its own value and it doesn't matter if someone like it or like not . The most important is that YOU like this music, not "Hitler" or "Stalin" or "Bin Laden".

I saw the New York Phil perform this with Zubin Mehta conducting and it was truly breathtaking.

@fustilarian1 - yes, exactly. If only everyone thought like that, and about all the other artforms also ...

Magical as it is, I'd invite you to listen and re-listen particularly between 5:20 and 7:18. It is like a haven of calm amidst all the other forces going on here - like a sunrise that gently grows in mystery and then warmth.

@eskailldorff really?

Bruckner..this music almost seems organic in a cosmic sort of way

My new favorite non-Mozart/non-Beethoven symphony.
