This review is from: Bruckner: Symphony No. 3 (Audio CD)

A performance so magnificent that it'll leave you limp and rung-out, like a rag. And, it'll leave you thinking that this is how all great music should be played. Haitink invests this recorded performance with incredible commitment and intesity.

The version used is the absolutely best one of all: the 1878 Nowak edition, with the extended scherzo coda. Once you've heard the longer coda, you'll feel shortchanged by performances which don't offer it. The recorded sound is excellent.

And the other super-excellent recording? Solti and the CSO. Solti? Yes! Solti! Both different, both use the Nowak edition, and both are the very best there is, and likely to remain as such.
