One of the 2 Finest Modern Recordings Available

A performance so magnificent that it'll leave you limp and rung-out, like a rag. And, it'll leave you thinking that this is how all great music should be played. Haitink invests this recorded performance with incredible commitment and intesity.
The version used is the absolutely best one of all: the 1878 Nowak edition, with the extended scherzo coda. Once you've heard the longer coda, you'll feel shortchanged by performances which don't offer it. The recorded sound is excellent.
And the other super-excellent recording? Solti and the CSO. Solti? Yes! Solti! Both different, both use the Nowak edition, and both are the very best there is, and likely to remain as such.

Vienna Philharmonic Sound, with slowish Haitink tempos

The tempi for this recording are slowish; not dragging but slowish. The overall impact of Bruckners' scoring is reduced, as opposed to say Karajan's reading and interpretation recorded on DG. Where Karajan's symphonic climaxes flow with the music, Haitink's rather slowish tempi stall the scale and grandeur of Bruckner's music. While the VPO play beautifully (as always) and the recording is pretty good, but no better than that, to balance Bruckner interpretations Karajans DG/BPO should be in your collection. This recording will appeal to those liking slower, lower voltage Bruckner, Haitink fans, longer phrasing and fine detail. In fact, for slower tempi readings, I"d say Tintner, with his interpretation looses nothing in sound, musical flow, comprehension of Brucknerian phrasing and orchestral detail.
Audition Haitink before buying.
