@mfealy watching first videos with detailed sound recording of single instruments at him (Karajan) conducting his Berliner Philharmoniker he estimated a lot of sound is unclear played sometimes caused by being too fast. Because he wanted to be perfect Karajan had no problems to slow down tempi until sound was perfect to him. Unfortunately he wasn't able to repeat recording all masterpieces...

I think it is too slow....this is a scherzo and needed to be fast( but not like furtwangler)
-
I think I just grew chest hair by listening to this. Fucking awesome.
-
The face around 4:15 is priceless.

Yes, this is far too slow. Embrassaingly so. It sounds like a parody - like an overweight elephant that can't keep up.
From Hausseger to Abbado, there are plenty of conductois who use an appropriate scherzo tempo.

@mroboe921 I'm just saying that Bruckner was not anything that would have made Hitler automatically dislike him. Bruckner was catholic and germanic enough to pass by, and wrote great music anybody should like. The point was not that he shared similar political opinions to hitler at all, but that there is no reason for Hitler to not have liked his music
-
@parquar That's completely wrong. You all confuse Bruckner with Wagner. Bruckner loved Wagner but he was no anti-Semite at all.
-
@EWilsonLife so it was good so I don't see why he would have not liked it since Bruckner fits his nationalistic and racial ideals well enough

wow... turns out this dude is my great great grandfather.. awesome huh?? :D

Hitler loved this music.

Yep, Leonard Bernstein is taking a page out of Sergiu Celibidache's book by playing the Scherzo so slowly! About evryone else will conduct it faster than those two. Unfortunately, these slower readings causes the Scherzo to lose alot of it urgent, mocking, sinister and macabe appeal.
