In his Dresden recording for DG, Giuseppe Sinopoli takes a more integrated view of the work than Barenboim. Sinopoli's is a powerful, expressive, intellectually rigorous account of the score which the Staatskapelle Dresden realizes with the kind of unassuming splendour that used to be the Berliners' prerogative before self-preoccupation set in during the 1980s. If anything, the Dresden orchestra plays better for Sinopoli than it does for Blomstedt… There is some occasional spot-lighting of solo instruments by the DG engineers; but by and large one is grateful to be given the kind of exact and finely documented inventory of Bruckner's score Sinopoli provides us with.

Sinopoli's reading differs from Karajan's, not so much structurally, as in the nature of the advocacy. The younger man, rightly, is passionate about the piece. He takes us by the sleeve in a way that the elderly Karajan would regard as a breach of musical decorum. Sinopoli's account of the scherzo is extremely powerful, Karajan's quieter less pressured…

– Richard Osborne, Gramophone [9/1993]

Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 – 11 October 1896) was an Austrian composer known for his symphonies, masses, and motets. The former are considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism because of their rich harmonic language, complex polyphony, and considerable length. Bruckner's compositions helped to define contemporary musical radicalism, owing to their dissonances, unprepared modulations, and roving harmonies. Unlike other radicals, such as Richard Wagner or Hugo Wolf who fit the enfant terrible mould, Bruckner showed extreme humility before other musicians, Wagner in particular. This apparent dichotomy between Bruckner the man and Bruckner the composer hampers efforts to describe his life in a way that gives a straightforward context for his music. His works, the symphonies in particular, had detractors, most notably the influential Austrian critic Eduard Hanslick, and other supporters of Johannes Brahms, who pointed to their large size, use of repetition, and Bruckner's propensity to revise many of his works, often with the assistance of colleagues, and his apparent indecision about which versions he preferred.
