I was lucky that the first time I heard this symphony was in the EMI LP of the March 14, 1949 performance. I have never had such an impact from my first exposure to a work. Both that performance and this one from 1944 are necessary for any Bruckner collection. One must have both. The sound is good, although there is a change of equalization from the middle of the 2nd movement to the end of the Adagio. During this period, bass drops off considerably. I have not heard this addressed in any of the versions that I have of this recording. Of course, it is corrected here, as much as it could be corrected, striving to keep the same sound as the rest of the symphony.\u003cbr\u003eEduardo Chibás\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom Henry Fogel's review of this transfer: \"I do find Chibás' firmer focus, and stronger timpani, bass, and cello presence, along with the somewhat wider dynamic range, to be the preferred version\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"piecedata\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PRODUCT-PART-NUMBER\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"piecedata\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PRODUCT-PART-NUMBER\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"piecedata\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PRODUCT-PART-NUMBER\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"158\" width=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/ARCHIVAL-SERIES-LOGO_480x480.png?v=1547047762\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"664\" height=\"60\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/1115BrucknerS8_44.pdf?v=1661428576\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"229\" height=\"65\" style=\"float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_liner_notes_735eceed-201e-4f62-b888-d1fed8b53db5_medium.jpg?3217511782796413000\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/Bruckner+Sym.+No.+8+1944+VPO+Furtwangler+Sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/16-44_shopify-download-butt_large.png?11917427187170401568\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/Beethoven+Piano+Cto.+No.+4+Furtwangler+Sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlay Sample Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"550\" height=\"550\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/hdtt-music-player.s3.amazonaws.com\/Bruckner+Sym.+No.+8+1944+VPO+Furtwangler\/audioplayer.html\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Furtwangler Sound","offers":[{"title":"16\/44 PCM Flac Mono Digital Download","offer_id":43306795368668,"sku":"HDTT13849","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/products\/1115Cover.jpg?v=1661428064","url":"https:\/\/www.highdeftapetransfers.ca\/ja\/products\/bruckner-symphony-no-8-in-c-minor-wilhelm-furtwangler-vpo-1944","provider":"High Definition Tape Transfers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
