| “ | Editorial Reviews Calgary Herald "Without a doubt this 1978 film performance rivals his best audio only recordings in control and insight." Indisputably one of the most important conductors of Anton Bruckner, Herbert von Karajan leads the Vienna Philharmonic with his Symphonies Nos. 8 & 9 and Te Deum. In addition to conducting Karajan also serves as director and artistic supervisor. Bruckner's Symphony No. 8, in an early version from 1887, was recorded live in the spring of 1979 at the splendid Baroque monastery church of St. Florian near Linz, where Bruckner spent many years as a student and teacher in his youth. Bruckner himself regarded the Adagio of his 8th Symphony as the greatest movement in any of his symphonies. The work was first performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in December 1892 under the direction of Hans Richter. Bruckner's last, unfinished symphonic masterpiece Symphony No. 9, and Te Deum were captured live from the Musikverein, in Vienna in 1978. Te Deum--one of Bruckner's most striking vocal works includes the superb cast of Anna Tomowa-Sintow, Agnes Baltsa, David Rendall, José van Dam and the Wiener Singverein. | ” |

Enjoy.
A masterpiece.
Karajan in his late years was much more interesting in Bruckner.
This 1978 version of Te Deum accompanying the 9th symphony is full of quiet strength, power and grandeur.
Eugen Jochum considered by numerous writers as doyen in Bruckner's oeuvre looks merely like a boy for spanking, being compared to Karajan raising from the texts of both St. Ambrose and Bruckner without Jochum's hysteria...
Thousands of thanks.
