Bruckner Symphony No.5(last movement) - 'Third Reich' version
This is how the Third Reich wanted Bruckner to sound......with clashing cymbals and triangle! What a laugh! This is one of his symphonies that never suffered from revision, that is until the Nazi's got their rotten hands on it. Don't even bother trying to purchase this atrocious recording!! As great as Hans Knappertsbusch was a conductor(especially with the operas of Richard Wagner......his "Parsifal" was beyond reproach, perhaps even divinely inspired), he prefered the 'Nazi' versions of Bruckner's symphonies......tragic and disgusting!
Discover and laugh!
