Splendid Fifth

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.
