While paying respect to the various attempts at completion made in the past, he interprets the work as complete in three movements, stating, “The horn note at the end of the third movement, which seems to go on forever, is like the composer’s final breath, giving the impression that there is nothing more to be said.” Alluding to the dedication “To my beloved God” that Bruckner himself wrote in the score, he expresses his deep attachment to this recording by stating that it is “dedicated to my beloved Bruckner.” As for the performance, in addition to a well-defined tempo that skillfully alternates between slow and fast sections, the contrast between the winds and strings is vividly brought out, with every part sung with great expressiveness. Consequently, the placement of the violins on either side is highly effective, resulting in a performance that is dynamic yet imbued with majestic beauty—a truly rewarding listening experience. It’s also a delight that this release is available as a SACD hybrid, allowing listeners to enjoy these qualities to the fullest. This album certainly lives up to the high expectations of fans who have been eagerly awaiting this major recording.\n\nJapanese liner notes for the domestic edition… Yutaro Ishihara\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595661009185,"sku":"4589538782962","price":3630.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538782962.jpg?v=1790482169","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538782962","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
