Thielemann inclines to the Romantics. Like all too many conductors, he ignores Bruckner’s marking of two slow beats per bar in the calmly pacing opening paragraph...the recorded sound strikes a near ideal balance between spaciousness and clarity of detail, while the playing of the Vienna Philharmonic is often of extreme beauty. The effect is very much to link the Fifth to the late Bruckner of the last three symphonies.
