Review title: a search for an incandescent Bruckner 8
Product review: Having listened to countless Bruckner 8ths, does one traversal of the vast score exist out there that hands down conveys an incandescent experience? I bought the von Karajan version on the strength of the positive reviews in trade journals. For the most part, it unfolds and develops as a great musical journey. Nonetheless, I have difficulty with the conductor's rather slow pacing and languid flow of the first movement. Everything else, conversely , moves along on very sound ground. Yet, I still return to an old Horenstein monaural recording on a Vox label which gets under my skin everytime I listen to it.
