      German audio engineering was the best in the world at that time, maybe still is. I love my Neumann microphone :)

    Such a shame that Furtwangler never had THIS sound.

    I read somewhere that the opening of this finale represented the Austro-Hungarian Kaiser's Hussars charging the Tsar's (Cossacks??)

      ​@@StinkinGoodAle3241Herr von Karajan purportedly had one quarter Dacian (mixed with ancient Roman colonizers) roots ancestrally, as his father was an Aromanian of Greek birth. Mine are apparently Illyrian from present day Montenegro. My father, an educated man, would tease fellow Albanians that only we Gegh's were the true Illyrians. He left it to the Tosc's to be our Greeks.

    Direction de très haute tenue de la part de Karajan, qui sera souvent par la suite peu à son aise dans Bruckner, et d'un orchestre remarquablement haut en couleur qui rivalise ici avec le Berliner Philharmoniker.

      Why is it a tragedy? I think they did a phenomenal job with this recording

      @@henryopitz3254 I guess it's tragic having the knowledge that Jewish musicians in the Orchestra were probably murdered by 1944 and you wouldn't find a Jew in the audience for the same reason. That's the tragic part.

    I'm not a Karajan fan, he is a great conductor, but I don't like how he was carrying his chin waaay too high, as if he only touched the ground with his feet to change direction. I like the more humble guys, like Wand, which also suits Bruckner better as a person, imho. But Karajan understood what is actually meant with "Feierlich, nicht schnell!" A whole lot of conductors did or do not.
    It strikes me that, when this was recorded, most German major cities have been already laying in ruins. Not one family in the Reich, which did not already havs lost family members or even their homes. Those buggers, who had to play under Karajan were more lucky than the ones, who died in the West as well as in the East, sure.
    But we do not grasp, what sort of torture by their parents and teachers they had to stand in their childhood, to become professionals. I can hardly watch a concert, not thinking what poor, broken, emasculated muppets they have been made. Maybe the trench is not the most cruel fate at all?

I feel sorry for all the kids, who did not had the strength, ending up as doctors or lawyers or the musicans mentioned above. It is a violent world of forced and traumatised people, so fuck with that "timeless recording". Its not worth the ruined cities, don't you think?

      @@grassmugge But may I ask, what do you think is worse. Having a good childhood but dying early on the eastern front or beeing forced into a musican's career from early childhood on by overambitious parents and living through the war? It's a hard decision or is it not?

      by this time Germany had closed all the theatres and the orchestras were losing players here and there to the War effort. It is amazing that they could play as well as they did. This was the Orchestra of the Berlin State Opera in it's guise as a symphony orchestra.

      I like it a lot. My favorite is still the Kegel/Leipzig RSO but this is very intense, terrific. And consider the time period, the thoughts going through everyone's heads. Except HvK ; he likely thought he was Invincible !
