The grand old master looks ancient, but is completely in control of the orchestra. The orchestra plays superbly and responds to his every gesture. The recorded sound and picture quality of the DVD are excellent. With four cameras at work, one at each corner of the stage, the players can be zoomed in upon from every angle. This is a very high quality performance and production and I highly recommend it to anyone who desires Bruckner's 6th Symphony. The companion Haydn Symphony is also performed well.
