Hello everybody, this is my first post, so I hope you'll be kind to me if I make some mistake. Since long time I was searching for HvK's Bruckner's 8th last performance, in New York with Wiener Philharmoniker just a few months before his passing. Eventually, I found it here at rarebroadcasts, a site which was mentioned in an earlier post in this forum, about a totally different issue. Being a newbie, my problem now is that ... I'm not able to understand how to purchase that single (as well as others) cd: can anybody please help me in this, or share his/her experience with that site and/or recordings? There are many others of our Maestro... Many thanks in advance!

Some most moving recollections of the 1989 Carnegie Hall Bruckner 8 by colleagues involved in the performance were included in John Bridcut’s BBC documentary. I’ve been unable to locate the film on YOUTUBE although of course I could have missed it. However, the whole documentary is now available on the Chinese video site TUDOU. The references start at 74 minutes. WEBROOT on my PC indicates that the site is trustworthy. www.tudou.com/programs/view/6-3rl8cZl0URegards David

Most moving, indeed. By the way, I wonder if an 'official' recording of it was preserved by Carnegie Hall. If so, it should still be there.

As lohengrin, I am very interested in the Karajan catalogue in rarebroadcasts, but don't know how to order (no prices are quoted, and there are no links to order). I would also like to get some help, if possible, on purchasing items from rarebroadcasts
Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks for this David. I have to say I was marginally disappointed with the Vienna PO recording of the Bruckner VIII - I much prefer the Berlin version from the 1970's - but I have to say what I have heard from the live performance from New York (on the BBC4 Karajan documentary) sounded sensational.

Hi Lee,
For me the best part of the 1975 BPO Bruckner 8 is the 3rd movement. Overall I think the brass is less well recorded than the late VPO version; also, there is a trumpet problem in the finale coda.

I agree with you that the later digital recording "opens up" the sound more, particularly benefiting the brass, but I find the Berlin PO to be a more powerful orchestra than their counterparts in Vienna which I feel makes the strongest case for Karajan's interpretation of the work. In this regard, I find the Adagio better in the Vienna account !! How strange - and wonderful ! - that we can all appreciate different facets of a performance ! LD

Dear all, This is an old topic, but I've recently found this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_sZDaYL4_wI don't know it's the real one, but quite like the performance by Karajan and Vienne Philharmonic.

Hello naowny,
Welcome to the forum.
Thank you for the link. If it is the 1989 Carnegie Hall recording, it is one of the great performances of the symphony.
