CD Reviews

A fine Bruckner 5th Symphony
John Kwok | New York, NY USA | 03/30/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This exceptional performance is another worthy addition to Philips' new commemorative series. The Concertgebouw Orchestra's fine playing is comparable to the Dresden Staatskapelle's in Jochum's second traversal of Bruckner's 9 symphonies, not counting Symphony "0". Credit must be given to Jochum and Philips' engineers for their inspired choice of an early medieval German abbey as a recording studio. The warm acoustics sparkle in this reissue; the orchestra's playing - most notably the wind, string and brass sections - is quite clear and crisp. Although this may not supplant Jochum's other versions of Bruckner's 5th Symphony, it will be a splendid addition to anyone's CD collection."
Splendid Fifth
David Dooley | San Diego, CA USA | 11/21/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bruckner's Fifth Symphony is one of his longest and one of the hardest to bring off in performance. Jochum makes all the pieces sound like they go together, the Concertgebouw Orchestra plays beautifully, and the Philips sound engineers let you hear the results. Grab this recording while it's still available. Jochum's Fifth in his Dresden Staatskapelle Bruckner cycle is OK, but this Fifth is inspired."
A must have Bruckner Fifth
Gustav | U.S | 07/14/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jochum has championed Bruckner's works for years, his two cycles (EMI and DGG) are legendary. So, even before you put the CD into the CD player you know that you are getting a good performance. Moreover, this particular recording adds something else that is very desirable in audio recordings- a great sound, crystal clear sound that is often amiss from older recordings. Plus, this is the first Bruckner's fifth that "Spoke" to me, and certainly, if you are a beginner looking for a place to start your journey into Bruckner's world, this version of the fifth symphony is THE one to acquire."
