For me as well. Bruckner is the greatest symphonist along with Beethoven. I just re-discovered Bruckner last month. I am not educated or trained in music , but for me it's obvious that his music is sublime
The finale coda of the Bruckner 5 may be the finest four or more minutes that Bruckner composed. But the true essence of Bruckner is the third symphony. In particular the extended ending to the scherzo. And nothing gives goose pimples than the final odd minute of this first masterpiece that Bruckner composed.
I LOVE that coda! I think when you are used to the version without it the coda may come as a bit of a shock with its modulations etc. But it is still pure Bruckner. A magnificent and exciting ending to that great Scherzo.@@eastwood1941
I just watched this performance again. I am viewing all the Bruckner symphonies in August 2023 before the month is out. I think the coda is a bit of magic!@@PeteFine
Solti and the BRSO are an incomparable duo. His recording of Strauss Alpine Symphony with the BRSO is the one by which I measure all the others. This Bruckner is grand and magnificent.
I can't believe that Sir Georg was already 81 years old at that time. So much powerful conducting! / This is wonderful 1877 version edited by Prof. Dr. Leopold Nowak published in 1981. Thanks from South Korea!
This is maybe the 10th...or 50th time I have watched this performance. Absolutely terrific! The brass section here ranks right with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra of that time. Solti really was tops with Bruckner, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert. I was lucky to have attended many of his CSO concerts in the 1990s. Thanks so much for posting and All the Best from Washington,DC.
The sweeping sound of the end of the Finale gives me the feeling of riding a fast train with the window open, feeling the wind and seeing beautiful sunlid meadows racing by in a blur of greens and yellows.
I viewed the Rienzi Overture performed by the Hochschule fur Musik Franz Liszt Weimar and then came here once again. Solti and the Bavarian Radio Symphony have lost none of their magic to me. Thanks, again, for posting this great performance of Bruckner's Wagner Symphony!
4.42 - 5 22 is so beautiful!! Pure emotion there that is brought so intensively and also so pure and innocent. Then these emtions build up to an outburst. Mahler also has that in his symphonies. Words too short for describing the beauty of this music and the way feelings are expressed!!
No. 1877. There are numerous tells. Like for example the length of the general rests after the first full statement of the main theme. But clearest indication to look for is the development section of the first movement. In the 1873 version when there building theme starts a third time there is no pizzicato in the strings like in 1877 and 1889. And in the 1877 version the Scherzo has a coda. And right before the coda of the Finale the 1873 version has a reference to Beethoven's 9th as all main themes from the previous movements are quoted just like at the begining of the Finale of the 9th. In the 1877 version only the 2nd theme of the first movement gets quoted. The quotations from the 2nd and 3rd movement are cut. Well and the most obvious tell is that Solti is conducting. He never conducted any of the other versions.
it is true that solti was not a smiling conductor. he was all business. however, he had the respect of those who were lucky enough to hear him in sold-out concerts at orchestra hall in chicago. it was guilini who was truly loved by audience and orchestra alike. but it was solti who brought the orchestra back to its high standing amongst american orchestras. it was an honor and pleasure to watch him, and c.m. guilini conduct.
You do not smile when you conduct Bruckner. You confront your sins, glimpse your god, hope you are forgiven, and know what burning in Hell will be. Bruckner tells you!.
I don't like 1st version of this symphony. Also this rendition and performance is so funny, especially brass in final sounds like Tom and Jerry😂. 2nd version much better!
Na ja, ich bin kein Fan von Thielemann und seinen Aufführungen. Die sind mir zu technisch und oberflächlich. Und der direkte Vergleich mit Aufführungen von Bruckners großer 5. Sinfonie von z.B. G. Wand spricht für sich selbst Das hier war für mich nicht besonders.
Utterly my Bruckner conductor. He gave me the 7th in 1976 at a Henry Wood Prom with the Chicago. This performance ranks up there with that wonderful occasion. seventeen years later !
Aren't these works meant to work on an abstract level? How then should personality come into play? Are you suggesting Solti is too 'Mahlerian', in that he gesticulates wildly? This is the strangest symphony I've ever listened to - perhaps I never will again.
Bruckner’s symphonies will be a call to God who continues remaining silent, and quench and moisturize the parched soul of busy modern people
Bruckner's harmonies don't touch my soul; they grab it, shake it around, turn it upside down and throw it up to the heavens!
That's what I like to hear.
For me as well. Bruckner is the greatest symphonist along with Beethoven. I just re-discovered Bruckner last month. I am not educated or trained in music , but for me it's obvious that his music is sublime
Nope, I've never heard that Movement III coda before.
To be surprised by Bruckner after all these years. :D
Sir Solti Is Timeless in direction of Bruckner Symphony n. 3❤
The Scherzo is unrelenting! The best I’ve heard.
The way he smiles at the end. He was satisfied and he should well be. Magnificent!

This is the 1878 Edition, I suspect, given the great third movement coda. Fine audio-visuals. Brass section did an admirable job. Thanks for posting!
Oh, that awful third movement coda! Why did Bruckner do that? I'm glad most conductors leave it out ...
I LOVE that coda! I think when you are used to the version without it the coda may come as a bit of a shock with its modulations etc. But it is still pure Bruckner. A magnificent and exciting ending to that great Scherzo.@@eastwood1941

素晴らしい a great conductor and performance he almost embodies the music kinetically
I love Solti's energy, and the incomparable Wil Sanders on 1st horn!
Εξαισιος,τελειος.Μπραβο.!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Solti is one of the greatest conductors ever! His interpretation means a high quality. I have enjoyed this performance! Thank you for this video!

So do I. From Japan!
Masterwork Bruckner/Solti🤩

Solti really was tops with Bruckner, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert. I was lucky to have attended many of his CSO concerts in the 1990s. Thanks so much for posting and All the Best from Washington,DC.
The sweeping sound of the end of the Finale gives me the feeling of riding a fast train with the window open, feeling the wind and seeing beautiful sunlid meadows racing by in a blur of greens and yellows.
And after the coda stops, you realize you have reached the same train-station that you started from, at the first movement.
I think that Bruckner's third symphony is his best melody. You can feel that you are in a beautiful forest riding a horse.
I viewed the Rienzi Overture performed by the Hochschule fur Musik Franz Liszt Weimar and then came here once again. Solti and the Bavarian Radio Symphony have lost none of their magic to me. Thanks, again, for posting this great performance of Bruckner's Wagner Symphony!
ブルックナーは僕の大のお気に入りの作曲家の一人なんだけど、この交響曲第３番だけは自分が気に入る演奏がなかなか見つからなくて、初めてブルックナーのこの曲を聴いたときは「とっても渋くて苦い曲」という印象と一方でブルックナーのワーグナー好きな気持ちがとってもよく表れててブルックナーは僕と同じ人間なんだなあなんて思ったりしてですね。それからいろんな演奏を聴いてもなかなかこの曲の好演奏は発見できなくて。でも遂に発見したのがこのゲオルグ・ショルティ指揮バイエルン放響のこの演奏だったのでした。。。僕が学生当時はショルティのブルックナー演奏は多くのメディアであまり良い評価は受けていなくて。でも僕は騙されてたんだよねメディアに。やっぱりね自分で聴かないとだめですよ。素晴らしいですよショルティは！！ブルックナーの名演奏家の一人です！！
mega!😊 Was für tolle Musiker! Was für ein toller Klang + Interpretation! Und das im Gasteig...😊
Wow!!! A glorious hymn magnificently performed!
❤

1878年の第二稿での演奏を探してこの動画に辿り着きました。日頃同じバージョンで演奏しているハイティンク/ウィーン・フィルを楽しんでいます。殆どの指揮者は第三稿ですが、第二稿と第三稿では違う曲と言ってもいいほどの違いがあり、第二稿に慣れ親しんだ耳には第三稿は過度にきらびやかになってしまっています。ショルティの演奏は細部まで目が届いて第二稿を堪能させてくれます。
great performance!
Esto es el ejemplo de expresión emocional en la dirección maravilloso Solti
GREAT
Outstanding video editing
Thanks from Brazil!
Solti s long tenure as conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as yet to be matched
This is impeccable Solti at his best. With little or no shading or coloring, but a perfect balance between the strings and the brass.
👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
メッチャはまる"ブル3"(^^)
This is what C.S. Lewis called 'the Great Dance'. Enough said.

@@QuotenwagnerianerThanks for clearing that up!
The conductor that never smiles?
not true. watch the end of the symphony
it is true that solti was not a smiling conductor. he was all business. however, he had the respect of those who were lucky enough to hear him in sold-out concerts at orchestra hall in chicago. it was guilini who was truly loved by audience and orchestra alike. but it was solti who brought the orchestra back to its high standing amongst american orchestras. it was an honor and pleasure to watch him, and c.m. guilini conduct.
59:49 😁
Is smiling now required in order to conduct an orchestra? #Karajan
You do not smile when you conduct Bruckner. You confront your sins, glimpse your god, hope you are forgiven, and know what burning in Hell will be. Bruckner tells you!.
Auch Solti vermag für Interpretationen von Bruckners Sinfonien einem Sergiu Celibidache nicht das Wasser reichen . . .
Funny, the orchestra is so conservatively attired but the audience looks like they're all decked for a day at the races.
I don't like 1st version of this symphony. Also this rendition and performance is so funny, especially brass in final sounds like Tom and Jerry😂. 2nd version much better!
Na ja, ich bin kein Fan von Thielemann und seinen Aufführungen. Die sind mir zu technisch und oberflächlich. Und der direkte Vergleich mit Aufführungen von Bruckners großer 5. Sinfonie von z.B. G. Wand spricht für sich selbst
Das hier war für mich nicht besonders.
Not my kind of Bruckner conductor, too exact, mellowness is not his forte.......
Utterly my Bruckner conductor. He gave me the 7th in 1976 at a Henry Wood Prom with the Chicago. This performance ranks up there with that wonderful occasion. seventeen years later !
