What an extraordinary piece - and I thought I knew my Bruckner. The performance differs from the score not least in a practically inaudible alto occasionally singing what sounds like doobedo. Can anyone enlighten?
I’ve heard a version in which this line was sung by quite audible female singers. The song is written for alpenhorns and the voices are singing “di-a-ri-di-a-hoh-la-roh” (as can be seen on the score in this video if you pause it at 2.42); this is meant to represent yodeling (in the mountains, presumably).
Amazing work. It was written around the time of the 5th symphony (1878) and can be regarded as "mature Bruckner".
As a hornist i can just say: love it!
As someone who loves oddities, I can say: I fully agree with you :)

Same here, I've just heard this on radio three, and like you, I thought I knew my Bruckner! Extraordinary price!
Der Inbegriff der Romantik. Das Stück balanciert auf der Trennungslinie zwischen Kunst und Kitsch. Umwerfend, wenn die Jodler einsetzen!
Wonderful!
Прекрасное Сочетание йодлей и валторн
Nice
Any information for what occation this was composed??
So is "ho-jo-to-ho" supposed to be yodeling?
