    As a Bruckner 'nutter' for about forty years who has heard more Bruckner 7s than is probably good for him this must rank as one of the best I've heard to date. There is a profound depth to this performance that adds an extra dimension to the sheer grandeur and majesty of this remarkable symphony. Everyone in the orchestra looks the epitome of concentration and commitment and the sound quality is excellent. One to treasure!.

      interesting to hear another conductor exploring a pace similar to Celibidache. Personally I like not to rush through the music as it allows me to better savor the harmonies and musicality of the performance. But that is just my taste these days.l
      Interestingly, with the slower pace... there is no where to hide, so you really have to have a good performance... or it is just glaringly excruciating

      @@ilirllukaci5345 Isn't that the same with many other composers? Never quite understood why Bruckner is almost uniquely considered a bit like Music Marmite. I have never really 'felt' Brahms, for instance.

      @@gezobel Bruckner's music is uniquely so. When Bruckner himself would improvise at the organ he would slip off into a trance while playing. I personally feel that if the listener does not experience some sort of mystical experience, then they are missing what makes Bruckner's music unique. I certainly don't mean that religious faith is a prerequisite, as Giulini felt. At least not in any conventional sense. I think there's a sort of metabolic sensitivity necessary. John Berky refers to a "Bruckner moment", when devotees of Bruckner's music would first hear it and fall under its spell.

    The seventh symphony of Anton Bruckner speaks with premordial force. We can only listen with awe to that which is beyond our comprehension. The performance by the SWR symphony orchestra under the conductor Christoph Eschenbach constitutes a very significant accomplishment whose full appreciation is most probably beyond my means.

  • @coolhandphilip

    I remember Eschenbach from his tumultuous time in Philadelphia. Even though the orchestra didn't care for him, he was able to bring them to perfection. He is probably the greatest conductor I've ever experienced.

    What a cello sound at the beginning! That's a real section right there. A real sense of legato. This orchestra has great character and style.
    Such an incredible piece. Thanks for posting. The last three Bruckner Symphonies just amaze me every time.

    Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser großartigen Sinfonie mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt feierlich. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im ziemlich langsamen Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt tiefempfunden!

    Although I have been a classical music and Bruckner fan for many years, I must admit I was not familiar with either Christoph Eschenbach or the SWR Symphonieorchester. I just happened across this performance of Bruckner's 7th on TH-cam. I have probably listened to a dozen or so versions of the 7th, and this performance ranks among the best I've heard. I prefer the 7th with slower tempos and this one certainly qualifies in that respect. The orchestra is a little smaller than one usually sees for Bruckner, but the piece is beautifully played. The sound is first rate.

    That slow movement ... it's the most patient, deliberate, and tempered build up to what is a heart-wrenching minute of harmonic and emotional inevitability. Like reading Aristotle's metaphysics or the later poetry of Williams ... and then we find ourselves delivered upon a Mesa of superlatives even though we can there see above us the unreached heavens with greatest clarity ... and we do our best to savor and remember a moment which we know will be too soon lost to us.

    Petit regret pour le scherzo, qui est une libération d'énergie joyeuse, joviale, après l'immense adagio si recueilli. Le scherzo est le plus mélodieux et un entrelacement de rythmes stupéfiant. Cela doit s'entendre : joie de danser, joie d'être heureux.

    Why is it that I feel uneasy right down to my very soul whenever I hear Bruckner's symphonies? Why should that be? I don't find his view of the universe, as expressed in his music, uplifting, transcendent, beautiful. I find it disturbing, dark, unnatural as if it comes from a very deep and profoundly terrible hell but masquerading as spiritual and pure. It sends shudders of quiet disgust through me and I can never listen to a Bruckner symphony from beginning to end. Never.
    I know that Gustav Mahler revered Bruckner as a teacher but did he also revere Bruckner's symphonies? I doubt it, somehow. Bruckner's fanatical adoration of Wagner is also a source of deep, deep disturbance for me, too, as if there were ever a composer whose music was the result of a Faustian pact with a dark entity, it is Wagner, especially after the Flying Dutchman.
    I am sure there are many who disagree with the above view but so be if others disagree. I cannot think or feel otherwise about Bruckner - or Wagner.

      Chris, I don't know if you know about this, but look into the psychological phenomenon known as the "numinous." It's kind of the flip side of awe. There is a type of goodness that uplifts us, and then there is another goodness that forces us down on our knees, trembling, with our hands covering our eyes. When the prophet Isaiah saw the Glory of the Lord in the Temple, he perhaps moaned, perhaps screamed, "Woe is me!...my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts." Today, people try to explain away the "fear" of the Lord the Bible speaks of as a heightened reverence, but I believe that that dilutes its original force: "it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God." He is "the one with whom we have to do," and so we serve Him "with fear and trembling." God's goodness, holiness and love are not necessarily warm and cuddly - they can appear quite intimidating, even cold and incomprehensible to us. He executed his only Son to save His creation, after all. As C.S. Lewis wrote, " Some people talk as though meeting the gaze of Absolute Goodness would be fun. They are still only playing with religion." I believe Bruckner knew all this very well, and fully intended you to feel the true "fear of God."

      Christopher Mann Urean You are not a musician, are you, let alone a composer? I stand by what I have said, as a musician and a composer. If you had the skill and talent to analyse, and fully understand, the nature of the music Bruckner created in his symphonies (which is completely different from his choral music) you might understand a little better what I meant. In order to be mystical (as a composer) you first have to be honest and sincere about the music you create, and Bruckner's adoration of Wagner makes that possibility very dubious indeed. Wagner, although a great techinal master, was neither honest nor sincere and it shows in virtually everything he wrote - especially after Der fliegender Holländer. Maybe, just maybe, if Bruckner had not thrown himself with abandon at the feet of Wagner, he would have been a great, perhaps even wonderful, composer. Unfortunately, he did and his music is testimony enough to that foolish act.

    • @gezobel

      Well, Mahler did create a four-hand piano transcription of Bruckner's 3rd ...? Also the slow movements of Mahler's 9th and 10th owe a great deal to the later Bruckner's adagios, ino.
      Though Bruckner is supposed to have had 'a fanatical adoration' concerning Wagner I've always thougt it was much more likely to be a case of Bruckner simply being bowled over by W's sound-world and learning some tricks from it to introduce into his symphonies.The only obvious recipient of Bruckner's worship and adoration was God.
      Bruckner's music is quite different from Wagner's and very much his own. It has an inherent purity that I've failed to find in any other composer with the exception of Bach,
      I'm sorry you have such a huge antipathy towards these wonderful and quite unique symphonies but we all have our 'deaf spots'. For example, I am completely unmoved by the symphonies of Brahms and generally find that those of Mahler tend to contain rather too much self-pity for my liking ... however, I am well aware that such lack of appreciation is entirely my loss and nobody else's!

      I recommend listening to Bruckner's 4th Symphony which is a bit more lighthearted than the 7th, particularly the 4th's third movement Scherzo. Also check out the 6th Symphony's second movement Adagio and you'll hear where Leonard Bernstein most likely got his first phrase for the song Somewhere from West Side Story, as well the 5th Symphony's Finale where one of its themes provided the rhythmic shape for the Tin Pan Alley song Tiptoe Through The Tulips, later popularized by Tiny Tim.
