I agree that this is a superb performance. Alas, DG did a dreadful job IMO with the recording. Not sure why, but they dropped the ball on this one. For my taste, Karajan and Bruckner are heard to best effect in his two early 1970s EMI Electrola recordings of 4 and 7 -- and to a lesser extent his 1958 Symphony 8 -- all recorded in the Jesus-Christus Kirche in Berlin-Dahlem. The DG recordings are all from the Philharmonie, when DG was still apparently trying to figure out how best to record there! My surmise, of course....
