This is truly a great performance. Bruckner's Eighth demands a sense of occasion, not just because of its length and complexity, but because of its huge range of emotional expression. It's also a work that sounds better the slower it goes (Bruckner is one of the few composers about whom this is generally true), and the secret to a superlative rendition lies in finding the right sense of spaciousness without dragging. Clearly, Carlo Maria Giulini and the Vienna Philharmonic are up to the challenge. The tempos are majestic, but the music presses forward inexorably to huge, brass-laden climaxes. It's all captured in gorgeous sound, too. --David Hurwitz

尾高忠明：东京艺术大学音乐学部指挥科教授，日本新一代杰出的指挥家
2010年起担任日本NHK交响乐团常任指挥；2010年9月起担任日本新国立剧场的音乐总监；2010年1月起担任墨尔本交响乐团首席客座指挥； 2004年5月起担任札幌交响乐团的音乐总监；1996年起担任BBC威尔士国家交响乐团的名誉指挥。
作为日本最出名的指挥家之一，尾高忠明的首场演出是于1971年同NHK交响乐团一起进行的，随后，他以常任指挥的身份执棒东京爱乐乐团长达二十年之久。他在英国担任多个交响乐团的客座指挥，包括：伦敦交响乐团、伦敦爱乐乐团、BBC交响乐团。1987年，尾高忠明先生成为BBC威尔士国家交响乐团的总指挥，伦敦《星期日泰晤士报》里的评论：“在同这个交响乐团合作的八年时间里，尾高忠明让威尔士惊奇。”除了英国以外，他在最近的音乐季受邀同鹿特丹爱乐乐团、班贝克爱乐乐团，斯特拉斯堡爱乐乐团，华沙爱乐乐团，卑尔根爱乐乐团，奥斯陆爱乐乐团，荷兰爱乐乐团，香港管弦乐团等乐团进行合作演出。

1962年2月23在米兰的现场录音。

舒曼在谈到这首交响曲时，曾经用了一个很有意思的比喻，说是这部作品具有“天堂般的长度”。事实上这部交响曲也正是以其不断给予我们新奇的欣喜、似乎永无止息的优美旋律，给人极深刻的印象，使人们叹止。阿巴多这个版本的确很有份量，由于该乐队有声有色的配合，使细部特别清晰。速度的把握得当，听上去非常的自然。这一版本另一重要之处在于依照原作而做的修补，其谐谑曲加上了早期版本中当初被勃拉姆斯删去的四个小节。录音的音响极为精美，恰好体现出演奏的精湛，《罗莎蒙德》是个宝贵而慷慨的搭配。阿巴多这张与欧洲室内管弦乐团合作的唱片企鹅评为三星带花。
