One of the absolute greatest Bruckner conductors of all time!.... Well, at least in the time I've been listening to Bruckner and attention concerts (40+ years). When this recording came out, I had to have it, and I was not disappointed - one of the most breath-taking performance of Bruckner 4 I've ever heard! Certainly helps to have the Berlin Philharmonic for the orchestra!
@@duvidl Do you mean with the Boston Symphony Orchestra? Broadcast live over WGBH FM Boston? Around 1986? I could swear it was from Tanglewood. Possibly Symphony Hall in Boston. Are you saying it wasn't?
@@duvidl I could swear it was Tennstedt. It wasn't Ozawa, or Steinberg, or Leinsdorf, or Bernstein, or Colin Davis, or Haitink. Is it possible you missed one? I know it was live, or recorded live, because I was frantically searching for my copy of the Kauffman translation of Zarathustra for the Midnight Song. Ugh.

A terrific performance. Tennstedt put lots of life into his Bruckner interpretations, which are solidly among my favorites.
Tennstedt was a hero of mine.
Thanks. As a child in the mid 1980's I awaited his appearances in Tanglewood over wgbh. His Mahler 3 was a formative experience.
The Mahler 3rd was in Minneapolis, and yes, it was a formative experience!

@@ilirllukaci5345 I attended all of Tennstedt's BSO concerts in Boston and Tanglewood and he never did the Mahler 3rd as far as I know.

@@duvidl So who did a Mahler 3 with Boston in those years? I heard Ozawa's in early 1998.
At 47:40 we hear are perfect timpani roll ending with a loud forte stroke at the end of the roll. BRAVO
