Honek gets it. Bruckner should not be rushed. It is not a race. It is the building of a cathedral. An edifice to the almighty.

The most amazing perfect performance of the Bruckner 8th I’ve ever heard.

I'll always a remember a mammoth concert I attended several years ago in London. The first half was Chopin first piano concerto, followed by several of his solo piano pieces. The second half was Bruckner 8. The whole concert was around 3 1/2 hours long, with applause. We got our money's worth that night. 🙂

Once attended a Pittsburgh Symphony Concert conducted by William Steinberg. He opened with the Bruckner Te Deum. After the intermission, he finished with the Bruckner 8th. Epic.

What a truly stunning coda! Muscular Bruckner with no holds barred ... just as I like him!

This is Very tricky coda to pull off It's not how the symphony should really end It should have more to say Brucnker he could have said it better Instead we have this fanfare It absolutely brilliant It had to be because He dedicated the symphony the Emperor Franz Joseph.

Hervorragend! Sehr transparent, man hört alles, manche Momente wie die einsame Flöte nach der Klimax der Durchführung hab ich kaum so intensiv und zugleich verloren gehört. Offenbar hat mit Honeck ein weiterer großer Bruckner-Dirigent bei den Kölnern übernommen und stellt sich den riesigen Fußstapfen von Maestro Wand. Und er macht es wie gesagt hervorragend!

I’m going to look up more performances by this conductor and orchestra, because this is a great performance that fulfills the profound emotions of Bruckner’s symphony. This conductor asks for depth from the musicians, and they respond beautifully. I love the dark richness of this German orchestra’s sound. Thank you for a truly worthwhile concert experience. Special congratulations to the Principal Clarinet, Principal Horn, Concertmaster and Conductor!

Great to see one of my favorite orchestra on KZread. There have been some great recordings with this orchestra such as the Wand/Bruckner cycle, the Bertini/Mahler cycle and of course Barshai's brilliant Shostakovich cycle. All show the extreme versatility of this ensemble.

Da könntest du recht haben. I'm old, and have heard many, many recordings of this symphony. Of those, this is certainly one of the best performances of it, and I think the most thrilling. The magnificent coda Bruckner wrote is especially well-realized here.

Rich and transparent sound from a fine orchestra and the best conductor in the world currently

Thanks and congratulations to both orchestra and director for a magnificent performance!!

Honeck is utterly the best conductor currently working. By far.

Yes, never heard that before and Ive been listening to Bruckner's symphonies avidly for nearly half-a-century now! Mind you, new editions of the scores seem to be cropping up almost every year now so it is possible it is one of those. Very effective and dramatic, I agree.

Super eindrucksvoll. Ich schätzte vor allem die langen Pausen des Dirigenten zwischen den Sätzen,was die Bedeutung und Tragweite dieser unglaublich erhabenen Musik hervorhebt. Riesenarbeit aller Musiker.Danke. wolfgang Steiert, CH-Düdingen Schweiz.

Splendida esecuzione e orchestra in stato di grazia (sfolgoranti gli ottoni che sprigionano quelle "fiamme di oro antico" che per Spengler costituivano la cifra musicale delle sinfonie di Bruckner).

MAGISTRAL interpretación por esta prestigiosa orquesta con sede en Colonia dirigida espléndidamente por Manfred Honeck de la Octava Sinfonía del genial compositor austriaco del Romanticismo con matices barrocos que es A. Bruckner. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.

I've never been a big fan of Honeck. There are times when he's different just to be different. But not with this Bruckner 8th. It's absolutely magnificent. Right up there with Jascha Horenstein.

Eu já ouço esta sinfomia há 53 anos! Comprei um vinil duplo de Von Karajan em 1971. Esta execução é esplêndida! Bem dirigida, bem tocada, os pianíssimos são destacados. Obrigado!

Those of us who are familiar with this work may question the extent of the timpani crescendo at 1:24:53 but overall this was a performance worthy of its sublime composer.

Божественная музыка. какая странность,что современники ее не восприняли. Странно и поучительно.

Bruckner, the one between Beethoven and Brahms, needs a resurrection, as I see it. His odds are not so good these days, even if his name starts with a B. Let us help him to survive, his music is always worth listening to. Please click Let Bruckner survive.

独墺系の巨匠の匂いがする現代の巨匠やな。やっぱりドイツのオケとのブルックナーはええやん。ピッツバーグ響とのマーラーに続いてブルックナーもCDで出して欲しいな。

I think 1887 version is better than 1890 version. I hope maestro Honeck became to be the successor of Georg Tintner.

Der Harfenteil im Trio ist total halbherzig und viel zu schnell

Leider eine ziemlich dilettantische Bildregie. Schade.

So wienerisch gespielt :)

Was für eine miese Bildregie.

Das ist leider komplett schief gegangen. Und das sage ich nicht gern. Das Orchester hat ein hervorragendes Potential und auch Manfred Honeck ist nicht irgendwer... Alle waren nicht im rechten Augenblick am richtigen Ort.... Leider auch nicht die Bildregie. Dieses wilde hin und her gespringe in kurzen Sequenzen, extreme Nahaufnahmen der Musiker..., gipfelnd , ich greife einmal en Beispiel heraus, die immerwährende Einblendung der 2. Hornistin, wenn das erste Horn ein Solo hat... Ich schliesse: s.o.

Nur hat Kleiber nie Bruckner dirigiert. Daher hinkt der Vergleich, denn wir wissen nicht, wie Kleiber Bruckners Achte interpretiert hätte.
