Clarity was one thing that made this performance a marvel. Another was the flexibility of Barenboims speeds.... The flexibility of Barenboims tempi meant that Bruckners charm an often overlooked aspect of his genius shone through, especially in the genial Trio. (The Telegraph) Bruckners 8th is the last symphony completed by the Austrian composer. Many of his contemporaries regarded the symphony as the pinnacle of 19th century music. Even today, this monumental work fascinates listeners with its virtuoso orchestral technique, its immensity of sound, and its inexhaustible richness of detail.
