Anton Bruckner - Symphony No. 8 C minor | WDR Sinfonieorchester | Manfred Honeck

[@jgesselberty]

Honek gets it. Bruckner should not be rushed. It is not a race. It is the building of a cathedral. An edifice to the almighty.

[@AlessandroContimusic]

Honeck is utterly the best conductor currently working. By far.

[@prometheanevent]

The most amazing perfect performance of the Bruckner 8th I’ve ever heard.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you very much! 🥰

[@thorstentopp3824]

Hervorragend! Sehr transparent, man hört alles, manche Momente wie die einsame Flöte nach der Klimax der Durchführung hab ich kaum so intensiv und zugleich verloren gehört. Offenbar hat mit Honeck ein weiterer großer Bruckner-Dirigent bei den Kölnern übernommen und stellt sich den riesigen Fußstapfen von Maestro Wand. Und er macht es wie gesagt hervorragend!

[@WDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank für das tolle Kompliment. Schön, dass es Ihnen so gut gefällt. 😊

Da könntest du recht haben. I'm old, and have heard many, many recordings of this symphony. Of those, this is certainly one of the best performances of it, and I think the most thrilling. The magnificent coda Bruckner wrote is especially well-realized here.

I’m going to look up more performances by this conductor and orchestra, because this is a great performance that fulfills the profound emotions of Bruckner’s symphony. This conductor asks for depth from the musicians, and they respond beautifully. I love the dark richness of this German orchestra’s sound. Thank you for a truly worthwhile concert experience. Special congratulations to the Principal Clarinet, Principal Horn, Concertmaster and Conductor!

[@WDRKlassik]

Thanks for your kind words!🥰

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser großartigen Sinfonie mit gut phrasierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt feierlich. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das perfekt trainierte Orchester im majestätischen Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Bewundernswert!

Super eindrucksvoll. Ich schätzte vor allem die langen Pausen des Dirigenten zwischen den Sätzen,was die Bedeutung und Tragweite dieser unglaublich erhabenen Musik hervorhebt. Riesenarbeit aller Musiker.Danke. wolfgang Steiert, CH-Düdingen Schweiz.

[@Musique_Splat]

Although I'm 5 years late to this video (I wasn't even a classical musician yet), I'm still grateful to have found this recording, Bruckner, and this singular symphony! Such a ectasy-triggering and monumental work, I must reference this in my own compositions!

[@WDRKlassik]

We're happy that you enjoyed the performance and the composition 🤗

[@tip3y592]

Honeck's Bruckner brought me to tears so many times

[@WDRKlassik]

Very understandable 🤗

[@gezobel]

What a truly stunning coda! Muscular Bruckner with no holds barred ... just as I like him!

[@richardwilliams473]

Exactly. With the timpanist not holding back as well

[@Gerard-hu6kp]

This is Very tricky coda to pull off It's not how the symphony should really end It should have more to say Brucnker he could have said it better Instead we have this fanfare It absolutely brilliant It had to be because He dedicated the symphony the Emperor Franz Joseph.

[@Anvanho]

Wow! That was just about the most perfect interpretation of the Adagio coda that I have ever heard. Left me shaken.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you very much! 🤗

[@benediktschlegel8233]

I hope you heard the version of Celibidache and the Münchner Philharmoniker

[@mr-wx3lv]

I'll always a remember a mammoth concert I attended several years ago in London. The first half was Chopin first piano concerto, followed by several of his solo piano pieces. The second half was Bruckner 8. The whole concert was around 3 1/2 hours long, with applause. We got our money's worth that night. 🙂

[@jgesselberty]

Once attended a Pittsburgh Symphony Concert conducted by William Steinberg. He opened with the Bruckner Te Deum. After the intermission, he finished with the Bruckner 8th. Epic.

[@richardwilliams473]

Wow! I don't know if that timpani part is actually written but it sure sounds very effective at 1:24:56 ! BRAVO

[@gezobel]

Yes, never heard that before and Ive been listening to Bruckner's symphonies avidly for nearly half-a-century now! Mind you, new editions of the scores seem to be cropping up almost every year now so it is possible it is one of those. Very effective and dramatic, I agree.

[@philthefox1948]

Magnifique interprétation de ce monument de la musique, tous genres et toutes époques confondues. A mon avis, un tempo idéal. Quant à la coda, que dire encore qui n'a été écrit, sinon que c'est la plus belle montée au ciel qui puisse m'advenir...

[@martz1945]

Eu já ouço esta sinfomia há 53 anos! Comprei um vinil duplo de Von Karajan em 1971. Esta execução é esplêndida! Bem dirigida, bem tocada, os pianíssimos são destacados. Obrigado!

[@marinomarinelli1398]

Splendida esecuzione e orchestra in stato di grazia (sfolgoranti gli ottoni che sprigionano quelle "fiamme di oro antico" che per Spengler costituivano la cifra musicale delle sinfonie di Bruckner).

THAT'S KIND OF A HARD QUESTION, RIGHT? Seriously - we're happy we get to perform so many amazing pieces of music every season, especially now with audiences back in the auditorium. But Bruckner 8 is always a favorite!

Bruckner, the one between Beethoven and Brahms, needs a resurrection, as I see it. His odds are not so good these days, even if his name starts with a B. Let us help him to survive, his music is always worth listening to. Please click Let Bruckner survive.

[@TheStockwell]

No disrespect intended, but Bruckner is doing quite well in the concert hall and in recordings. His music is being performed and recorded more than ever before. He needs no "resurrection." Best wishes from Vermont ❄️💙❄️

I think 1887 version is better than 1890 version. I hope maestro Honeck became to be the successor of Georg Tintner.

So wienerisch gespielt :)

[@Artariastein]

Das ist leider komplett schief gegangen. Und das sage ich nicht gern. Das Orchester hat ein hervorragendes Potential und auch Manfred Honeck ist nicht irgendwer... Alle waren nicht im rechten Augenblick am richtigen Ort.... Leider auch nicht die Bildregie. Dieses wilde hin und her gespringe in kurzen Sequenzen, extreme Nahaufnahmen der Musiker..., gipfelnd , ich greife einmal en Beispiel heraus, die immerwährende Einblendung der 2. Hornistin, wenn das erste Horn ein Solo hat... Ich schliesse: s.o.

[@torstenkopsel3751]

Was für eine miese Bildregie.

Nur hat Kleiber nie Bruckner dirigiert. Daher hinkt der Vergleich, denn wir wissen nicht, wie Kleiber Bruckners Achte interpretiert hätte.
