Recording made live at the Benedictine Abbey of Ottobeuren, this 5th Symphony of Bruckner by Eugen Jochum has become irreplaceable and seems to have absorbed energetic flows that escape full human comprehension.

It is exceptional for a conductor to have identified so deeply with the work, and such an interpretation lends weight to the opinion that qualifies Anton Bruckner as a timeless musician with a metaphysical universe. Everything here is at an altitude that has definitively left the human world to commune directly with God. This is very, very great art, which a sumptuous remastering completes as an eternal monument.
