About

Indisputably one of the most important conductors of Anton Bruckner, Herbert von Karajan leads the Wiener Philharmoniker with his Symphonies Nos. 8 & 9 and Te Deum.
Herbert von Karajan was not only the conductor of these recordings but also director and responsible for artistic supervision.
Bruckner's Symphony No 8, in an early version of 1887, was recorded live in spring 1979 at the splendid Baroque monastery church of St.Florian near Linz, were Bruckner spent many years as a student and teacher in his youth. Bruckner himself regarded the Adagio of his 8th Symphony as the greatest movement in any of his symphonies. The work was first performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in December 1892 under the direction of Hans Richter.
Live from the Musikverein, Vienna, from 1978 comes Bruckner's last, unfinished symphonic masterpiece Symphony No. 9 and Te Deum.
The Te Deum is one of Bruckner´s most striking vocal works with the superb cast Anna Tomowa-Sintow, Agnes Baltsa, David Rendall, José van Dam and the Wiener Singverein.
