Author: Richard Osborne
It should be said at once that the performance is clearly projected, eloquently played, and beautifully recorded. The problem is that Bohm's Vienna Philharmonic performance is, within the broad terms of the Viennese Bruckner tradition, a good deal more characterful, whilst Haitink's own performance has become broader, most tempos now marginally slower than before, robbing us, to an extent, of that distinctive lucidity and poise which was so notable a feature of the earlier recording. Further thoughts about Haitink in Vienna and the rival Bohm must await the CD's issue. I should add that Haitink uses Nowak's text of 1878-80. If you want oboes in the third movement Trio you must go, via Klemperer on HMV, to Haas.'
