Lovro von Matačić conductor

A further Bruckner symphony has been released as part of Supraphon' s popular Archiv series. It was recorded by the Czech Philharmonic in the late 60' s and early 70' s with the renowned Yugoslavian conductor Lovro von Matacić, one of the last "body and soul romantics". Bruckner' s Symphony No. 5 ranks among his most famous works, and this recording has taken its place next to the Symphony No. 7 in the Supraphon Gold Fund thanks to the brilliant form of the Czech Philharmonic and the talent of the conductor.

Bruckner' s Fifth in a noteworthy performance by the Czech Philharmonic and Lovro von Matacić.
