It is my motto, absolutely ❤️

[@henryfate7170]

Each wand Bruckner is a masterpiece. Underrated conductor. Genius.

[@shantihealer]

This is class Bruckner playing in every department. A gorgeous sound. And possibly the greatest, most underrated symphony in the classical repertoire.

[@markhughes7927]

I sense a hearing of this by Leonard Bernstein in his youth………‘There’s a place……’

[@ilirllukaci5345]

Incredible persona this conductor. AND THAT AFTER WEEKS OF REHEARSALS. This was Gunter Wand. A great Brucknerian.

[@NDRKlassik]

Absolutely!!!

[@dirkh.44]

The most beautiful adagio of all the Bruckner Symphonies.

[@davidcoxall3270]

I have always thought that too, it contains some of the most profound music ever composed.

00:30 Maestoso 17:11 Adagio. Sehr feierlich 33:50 Scherzo. Nicht schnell - Trio. Langsam 43:00 Finale. Bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell

wand, best bruckner interpret. mir kommen die tränen vor Freude

[@fastfred1977]

I have this one in addition to 5, 7, 8 & 9 on DVD. All of the performances are top rate.

[@evelynkatz1301]

THE MAGIC WAND....The clearest conducting and playing, bringing out every nuance of the woodwinds, showing the tender and noble sides in Bruckner's powerful music....Perfect balance, not only fanfares of doomsday, but the song of the earth, with its rustling forests and chirping birds and murmuring winds. And the gentleman becomes young, conducting in this minimalistic way that represents the highest aspects of humanity..... I know he is in a better world now, but thank you, Maestro, and thank you all for this inspiring experience and all the others. Here Bruckner freaks like me can find the ultimate justification of the PPP as well as the FFF of the church organ playing transferred to the full orchestra. Thank you again!!! Danke sehr!! ich bin sprachlos, also nicht genau, aber ganz entzueckt!!!

[@ThoseSpacesInBetweenDEPalm]

Yes, Yes, YES; I too am a Bruckner FREAK! Peace and Much Groove.

Simply great, the timpani and brass section are superb in the finale!

The timpanist's entrance ain't too shabby either;) Peace and Much Groove.

[@henrygingercat]

A great performance by a great conductor and orchestra of a great masterpiece by one of the greatest composers. Apart from that it's pretty good too.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thanks for your nice review. There are many more interesting Bruckner videos in our channel and also on our website: ndr.de/orchester_chor/elbphilharmonieorchester/Anton-Bruckner-Guenter-Wand-und-das-NDR-Elbphilharmonie-Orchester,bruckner146.html

@@NDRKlassik Thank-you so much to your wonderful reply Hang in there ！

[@joachimsaxer4812]

His technique is amazing -- 0:02:38: he alternates between conducting the quarter note triplets of the low strings and the basic 4/4 of the high strings. The orchestra knows, so tempo and metrum are absolutely clear to everybody.

[@rastrats]

If you say so!

[@vaughanosgan2623]

Superb and subtle presentation...one of a kind

[@NDRKlassik]

We think so too!

[@ABruckner8]

Oh man, I just love how Wand goes from conducting 4 into 2, fully aware of the many subdivisions underneath, to "DONT YOU DARE EVEN THINK OF ANYTHING BUT BIG BEATS HERE!" (even though the multiple subdivisions are still there). 16:08 to 16:12. Then back to 4 when timpani comes in at the A Major resolution...he can't be stopped or ignored, lol.

[@conbrio825]

56:25 - Bei so viel Energie und Spannung haut es dem Paukisten sogar den Schlägel aus der Hand. ;-)

[@vs-cw1wc]

That "heart beat" at 23:17, such mystery... always gives me chills

[@zvezdinki7998]

Я тоже люблю 😍 Брукнера

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser großartigen Sinfonie mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher, milden Töne aller Holzbläser und, vor allem, brillanten Töne aller Metalbläser. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das perfekt trainierte Orchester im inspirierenden Tempo mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt bewundernswert!

[@onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677]

Great symphony well interpreted

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you!!

[@knuthartmann4846]

Auch heute noch ist Günter Wand für Anton Bruckner das NonPlusUltra.

[@conbrio825]

Erst recht, wenn man sich mal wieder die neueste Einspielung (Bruckners Fünfte) des angeblich so überragenden Bruckner-"Kenners" und -"Könners" Christian Thielemann anhört...

[@user-it1ex4yv3t]

かとけがつかす

[@duwir5959]

Klemperer will be unforgotten with his recording of Bruckner 6th. Wand has the courage to let the timpany of the final of the first movement sound dramatic, great.

[@duwir5959]

@R. H. Stein with vpo ist also great.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This symphony invigorates the human spirit

[@renelaanen8806]

THIS is ART!!

[@duwir5959]

For me one of the best Bruckner 6th, only to compare with the famous Klemperer recording.

[@alanwitton5980]

My goodness this is great listening! It's the bees knees as far as I'm concerned with the greatest respect to Maestro Otto Klemperer who's own interpretation is also excellent

[@Hussain_Eidani]

Beautiful ❤

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you! 🤩

[@hospitality5522]

Most than every composer, Bruckner needs perfection. This symphony is the most difficult because it is between the first part of the effort of the Master with many quests and the last three masterpieces. Here a a wonderful life and a great engagement of musicians to answer the ask of a great specialist. One can add that it is obviously the orchestra which gives Wand the best collaboration in Bruckner.

[@markiz1009]

Wand Genius!!!!👏👏👏

[@NDRKlassik]

Yes!! :)))

[@Gerard-hu6kp]

An absolutey compelling performance Something special out of the ordinary here

[@frankvisser893]

Tempi, Geschlossenheit, Ausdruck und Organik: so und nicht anders :-) Kein Weihrauch; gut so.

[@papagen00]

I've always preferred Bruckner to Mahler's neurotic music. Anyone else the same?

[@davebarclay4429]

Definitely. I enjoy Mahler if I'm in the right mood but I couldn't live without Bruckner, especially Bruckner conducted by Günter Wand.

[@doloresmartinez327]

@@davebarclay4429 complètement d accord, je l' ai entendue dirigée pa Karajan, qui est pourtant un extraordinaire chef d orchestre, et ça n'est plus la même musique. J'aime la musique, mais complètement ignare pour la technique, mais je crois qu'il faut comprendre Bruckner pour nous le faire ressentir. complètement.

[@patrickhackett7881]

I think Mahler's symphonies are "greater"-- more original, groundbreaking, varied-- but I prefer Bruckner's symphonies

For years the Klemperer/Philharmonia recording of this symphony has been the standard for me and I couldn't really enjoy other renditions. Well This wonderful rendition by Wand/NDR stands with that classic in my opinion. Thanks for this video NDR Klassik!!

[@waynelutton4634]

This is only about the tenth time I have watched this particular performance. Gunter Wand and the NDR never let you down in Bruckner or Schubert! I do wish your audio engineers could hype the sound. I am currently stranded in Washington, DC on the top floor of a condo. When the brass enters, I would like to try to blow the roof off. That will require louder audio! I continue to appreciate the NDR as I work my way through your Bruckner archives. All the Best!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much, it's our pleasure. We will forward your request to our audio engineers 😉

Notice the 5. and 15. bar of the trio (scherzo). It's the same as the first theme of the allegro in the 5. symphony. "Everything is connected", as Sir Andras Schiff would say.

Great Bruckner! Big Wand!

Do you know the definitive answer to the question as to who was the best composer in the late Romantic period, Brahms or Wagner? Of course, the definitive answer is ANTON BRUCKNER!!!

@Sylvain Chalifoux Schubert would not be considered a late romantic composer

[@duwir5959]

when ndr will finally give us beethoven 5 with wand, great perfomances with a giant !

[@None-zc5vg]

I like Wand but the slow movement in this performance seemed to be taken too fast in places: there's a Jochum version of [just] the 2nd movement (with an unidentified orchestra*) on KZbin that to me comes over as less-hurried, but I'm probably in a minority: it's heresy to criticise Wand. * later identified as the N.D.R. S.O.

[@NDRKlassik]

Why would it be? Taste is not to be discussed, is it. We are happy about every single respectful and differentiated comment here - may it be critical or not. :)

[@conbrio825]

Wenn ich mich recht entsinne, gab es 1996 bei der Übertragung dieses Eröffnungskonzerts mit Haydn 76 und Bruckner 6 in der Pause ein Gespräch mit Günter Wand mit Probenausschnitten - ähnlich wie 1994 "Günter Wand probt Beethoven". Schade, dass das hier (bisher) nicht ebenfalls veröffentlicht wurde.

[@NDRKlassik]

In unserem Channel stehen ganz die Musik und die wundervollen Aufnahmen davon im Mittelpunkt - wir haben aber auf unserer Homepage einen Archiv-Schatz mit Maestro Wand veröffentlicht, in dem er etwa über seine Arbeit mit Werken von Bruckner redet.

Bruckner in az bilinen ama önemli senfonilerinden. Son dev senfonilere açılan bir geçit. Türkiye de konserlerde sadece 0. ve 1. senfonilerini dinleme imkanım oldu. Bir de 5. Senfoni. Epey zamandır konsere gitmiyorum. Kötü akustikler ve yorumlar beni sıkmaya başlamıştı. Artık internetle böyle müthiş yorumlara ulaşabiliyoruz.
