Bruckner: Symphonies/Karajan

As part of their celebration of his centenary, DG have reissued Karajan’s cycle of Bruckner’s nine numbered symphonies that he set down in Berlin between 1975 and 1981.
This repackaging of Karajan’s Bruckner cycle affords an appropriate and very worthy centennial tribute.
