Review title: TOO SLOW!!
Product review: Sigh, try as I might, I just cannot get into Celibidache's version of Bruckner's 8th. The ending sounds like he's moving through glue. We're talking about the Apocolyptic symphony here, you know horses, fire, brimstone....Celibidache kills any sense of urgency with his tempo choices (as a side note Haitnik's attempt with the Concertbouw is ENTIRELY too fast). Somewhere right down the middle is better, urgent but not rushed. Look to Maazel/Berlin, Bohm/Vienna, or Wand/Berlin for reference recordings of this. I will say however, Celibidache does coax positively fantastic intensity from the brass players, their playing is very powerful...
