Bruckner 8

[Peter]

Peter, I can tell you how to transfer the youtube video into an mp3 file and then to a CD if you wish.

Thanks Chaszz, that's very thoughtful but I really wanted it in dvd format - it's on my to get list but I'll see if there are better offers on it during the year.

I've tried repeatedly to get into Bruckner and failed. I have now made a renewed effort with a Karajan recording of the 8th and succeeded at last. (Don't know which version as it is a privately "burned" 2-disk set with no other info on it). Thanks for stimulating my successful try with this thread, Peter!

I'm delighted Chaszz - I had problems with Bruckner as well and it was this 8th symphony that finally converted me as well - is there much more sublime than the slow movement which Bruckner himself regarded as his greatest achievement?

I thought somewhere earlier in this thread you referred in that way to the slow movement,and wanted to mention that reference, but I could not find it in the thread! Where is it, do you know?

Because of that comment, it was the slow movement I tried, which finally after several hearings opened itself up to me.

I'm not sure Chaszz, perhaps in another thread? Anyway I'm delighted those words helped!
