What an astonishing combination it is of Maestro Rattle and his Berlin Philharmonic "superstars".So here we have this terrific completion of Bruckner's 8th symphony! I think Mr. Rattle has made a significant coo in being far sighted enough to set down this performance for all to hear and judge all others that may come after! By golly, any attempt to beat this performance would have to be super human! This is a wonderfully controlled presentation with a powerful yet sensitive, emotional performance of tremendous breadth! I feel that the academic endeavour and painstaking thought that obviously has gone into preparing this symphonic completion is the right one! Well time will only tell! However EMI have given captured a huge soundstage of immense presence, one of their "top drawer" releases! I managed to acquire the Japan EMI release in glorious SACD surround sound! Somewhat pricey, but in my opinion IF you have SACD playing equipment well worth the extra cost for a wonderful aural experience! I shall very much treasure this wonderful CD, thank you EMI.
I have always enjoyed Rattle's performances with the BPO, from Haydn to Mahler and beyond. This version of Bruckner's 9th. is no exception. The novelty here is the added movement which certainly contains some recognizable Bruckner motifs. The sound quality has certainly been enhanced by SACD technology.
