July 2021: Symphony No. 8 / Carl-August Buente / Geidai Symphony Orchestra

The conductor Carl A. Buente (1925-2018) was kind enough to supply the Bruckner Archive with recordings of Bruckner performances he gave during his long career as conductor of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and several Japanese ensembles.. Over the past few months, I have offered those recordings as Downloads. Please note that his performance of the Symphony No. 3 was offered here in March of 2019. It is still available. This recording of the Haas edition of the Symphony No. 8 was recorded in Tokyo Festival Hall on December 4, 1979 More information about the conductor can be found here.
