Title: Tour The Church
Review: A magnificent performance virtually ruined by a tour of the inside of the church where the concert takes place. Everytime the music reaches a climax the camera is either zooming in or out of some fresco painting on the wall or the ceiling. If you want to take a tour of the inside of the St. Florian Church, then this is the DVD for you. But if you want to watch a performance of the Bruckner 8th symphony, I would look elsewhere. The picture quality and sound quality on the DVD are very good. Boulez is quite sullen and mechanical in conducting and becomes and bit boring to watch. This performance is available on CD by Deutsche Grammophon, however, and is wonderful to listen to.
Is the review positive or negative?
