Will the now legendary performance of Maestro Celibidache leading the BPO in Bruckner's 7th, be ever officially released?

[BerlinPhil]

Good question. Presumably, Sony, as the owner of the audiovisual recording, and Celibidache's heirs would need to come to an agreement. But we have no information that there are discussions of that kind.

I love die Berliner!!!! I am so in the music they play!

[usnhorn]

i will gladly purchase the Digital Concert performances on DVD, if that gives any weight to your decision making!

Just one further comment. I will be lucky enough to be going to Berlin in February to see Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic in the completed 4 movement version of the Bruckner 9. Later in the month they will perform it in New York. I reiterate, listen to the sonorous chorale from the final movement ,which will now have a magnificent coda in D Major as Bruckner envisaged. The chorale in the last movement is a transposition from the " Thomas Tallis" similar music from the third movement.

12axing Everybody has a a right to his own opinion.In time its possible that you may come to a different one in time. I have had no musical education, but for me it is the greatest symphony EVER composed.Mahler,Shostakovich,P­rokoviev and even Schoenberg were influenced by it.It is a 20th century symphony composed in the 19th.Holst based his "Mars" on it. Vaughan Williams his Thomas Tallis Fantasia opening. Check on Bruckner in Hollywood on You Tube and you may get a better understanding.

the ugliest symphonie ever composed. sounds like depression and suicide thoughts alltogether. why does my father make me listen this nightmare over and over again??

[Strefanasha]

@gera1262 no he did not write opera. he did symphonies as religious works, and motets etc with speciifically relgious texts and the string quintet.

although inspired by wagner harmonies i hear that he had no interest in the slightest in wagners libretti. B was a man of the church not the theatre

[smudgepots]

Dreadful!

[Demons1965]

@sirmattbelios agree completely. There is nothing in this Rattle performance to detain one. He should stick to those Mahler symphonies.

[sirmattbelios]

@Demons1965 Don't forget Giulini!

@koolu99

Ive a cd-box with the symphony's 3-9 the te deum and the masses with celibidache and the munich philharmonic orchestra ;) but Günter Wand i think is also one of the greatest Bruckner conductors

[IrisPursey]

@koolu99

Though not the (IMHO) definitive performance of this work (which I reserve for Wand) this is so much less mawkish than the version by Yannick Nézet-Séguin with the Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal which is so languid and full of unnecessary ritenuti that I would be shifting around in my seat if I were at the concert in person.
