Günter Wand

I don't listen to Buckner symphonies very often for fear of them becoming too familiar. Like - too much of a good thing.  Also it's hard to justify a time slot long enough to listen to a complete symphony so I tend to listen a movement at a time. Tonight it was Günter Wand's rendition of Buckner's final masterpiece and it was truly awesome. I say all this because it seems wrong that others should not get to enjoy it, either because of ignorance, claimed distaste or having "more important" things to do.

My link takes you to the 3rd movement but, if you have time, you really ought to rewind to the beginning.

Bruckner ninth Haitink



Good filming with lots of close-ups of the instruments and conductor, good sound quality, and totally mild-blowing, awesome content.
