Br:Haitink - Bruckner: Symphony No.5

When people speak of Bruckneriancathedral edifices, then this description best applies to his 5th Symphony in B-flat major. This work ranks as a paradigm of the most complicated polyphony in symphonic writing and concurrently as a stirring confession of faith. The yearning for divine light, for hope and faith - these ideas are communicated in the music and directly touch the listener. This recorded concert document was made in January of 2010 during a guest appearance by Bernard Haitink, one of the most renowned conductors world-wide, with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. The concert recording was made at the highest level of technology as a SACD with multi-channel and stereo sound.
