Symphony No. 5 in B Major by Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) 4. Movement "Finale: Adagio-Allegro molto" Wiener Philharmoniker Hans Knappertsbusch, conductor Wien VI. 1956
Good grief, I never thought to see this dinosaur alive again. It is truly the Godzilla of Bruckner symphonies, the only recording (at least in stereo) of the much maligned Franz Schalk edition, surely the oddest of all the hundreds of editions of poor Tony's children. Even I, who am a horn freak, had to pull back when the extra corp of brass (borrowed, no doubt from the Berlioz Requiem next door) explode onto the scene at the end of the 4th movement. Deafening but awesome.
