it is undubtedly one of the most dramatic moments in all history of music when the 1st theme of the 1st movement shows up at full blast again right before the coda starts. Bruckners achievement here is staggering. I dont like to say these kind of things but music forces me to except and bow my head in front of the fact that this is probably (or for sure) the greatest symphony ever composed.
With my deepest and greatest respect to Anton Bruckner...

Bruckner reached heights of cosmic wonder in this symphony. It sounds like the language of the gods. I heard the 8th for the first time 20 years ago and hearing it again here it feels like yesterday. It truly takes you into a cosmic timeless dimension where few composers reach, where reality changes from our usual perceptions. Bach does this too and certain moments with Sibelius.

This comes from the DG dvd, which is fine but not tremendous.
The SONY dvd, however, is absolutely incredibly amazing!

Bravo!

@Strefanasha I hear you - regarding the "mysterium tremendum", but I am grateful for this posting because I heard Karajan and the Berlin play this at Carnegie Hall about the same time of this performance. Let me tell you - the audience that evening would report without a doubt that they had indeed encountered the mysterium tremendum!

That timeless themes can be to aptly expressed within a limited time frame and meter is extremely remarkable to me; I share those sentiments or suggestions of timelessness as well. It reminds me of the time frame of God for a day as a thousand years.

Yes indeed this sounds like a cosmic maelstrom of sorts

I'm sorry. but celibidache does it better. Karajan does not seem to have. IMO any feel forwhat religious studies scholars call the mysterium tremendum.
but the mysterium tremendum utterly permeates Bruckner which is why he is my adored favourite composer

@Strefanasha Both are complementary versions. Both are my favourites: Celibidache-Munich & Karajan-Viena 1979.
