Of the recorded Bruckner 9s that I have heard, this is THE one! other- worldly is no exageration. Thank you, Dave. I'm loving these "Greatest recordings EVER!" presentations. They are an enjoyable education, as all learning should be.
What a recording! I got into Bruckner when the Tintner was coming out. People raved and they were cheap so I collected them and loved them. After I got into this channel and subscribed to Apple Music, I discovered a lot more fine Bruckner. One of the biggest revelations I got from this channel is the Skrowaczewski set of Bruckner. That pretty much replaced the Tintner as my go to cycle. But I still love the Tintner in the 4th and the 9th especially. Anyway I listened to this Jochum ninth just now and it truly is a great! I really felt as I was listening to this sad, dark and heavy music, how great it is to be alive.
I don't even have to buy this . . . Dave recommended the Jochum EMI box a while ago and I was able to buy it so I have this recording. This video inspires me to re-vist it.
Luckily I had this on LP in the end 1970's, and just recently bought all the Jochum recordings on CD. This symphony is "Cosmic", indeed, and quite worthy of its dedication to God.
I have actually Jochum's 1966 recording with the Berlin Philharmonic... So I definitively have to hear the one with the Staatskapelle Dresden you presented.
Dave thank you for the recommendation. Bruckner's 9th shares a trait with Sibelius's 4th, with the opening chords you'll know if it's going to be compelling or flaccid. Both sound like they're rising up from deep black water.
Both must at the least begin bleak. Such may put listeners unfamiliar with the work off, but sch is also necessary. One may not think of these two works as similar.
What better happy birthday could Anton want than this recommendation from Dave!? I agree it's a raw, visceral & tumultuous experience fully exposing the human crisis hinted at in the music. One of my favourite symphonies & definitely my favourite performance of it. Jochum's earlier 1960's Berlin version on DG doesn't quite match this one. And the Dresdeners in the 60's, 70's & 80's projected an exciting & unique sound unlike many of the cold offerings today.
How apropo on his Birthday! Thanks
200 years ago!!
@@Warp75 Yeah, I wasn't planning any party. 🤣
I had no idea.
My favorite symphony by my favorite composer!
@@Bucky55I’m just having a pint of Guinness in his honour while playing this recording

And they are funny too

That brief pause before the main theme's ff.. far before I knew anything about Bruckner when I heard this recording, I knew it was Special.
Bruckner and Jochum....who needs anything more?

Ok. I also now bought the EMI/WARNER box. You convinced me!!! 😅

True.

I know it's not very well regarded but I feel the same about his Bruckner eighth with the SKD
The canonic three-movement work is already well-balanced. Adding more is pointless. It may may be an accident, but such happens.
Dave, t heard steinbeg do the ninth and as the 4th met he went right into the Te Deum
It worked
Of course it worked. The Te Deum is magnificent, and it doesn't matter where you put it. It just has nothing to do with the Ninth.
