Bruckner on finale- quote (?)
In a review by Ron McDonald (reviewing Daniel Barenboim's recording of the symphony for Teldec in Fanfare Magazine, May (June) 1993 issue, p. 181, ) Bruckner is quoted as having said (how reliably quoted, I do not know...) of the finale to his fifth symphony (that it was his "contrapuntal masterpiece", ... and) that he "would not write it again for a thousand gulden". Is there a good source for this quote? Schissel | Sound the Note! 06:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Infamous use
The finale was used in the official celebration of the 50th birthday of Adolf Hitler. Pbrower2a (talk) 22:05, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't know of a source for the claim above. However, the UK television series "World at War" did use, in its first episode, footage of the 1939 Hitler's birthday parade accompanied by the coda of the fourth movement, culminating in the chorale, but the sound quality suggests the TV of the 1970s, not late thirties UFA sound. (Certainly the Bohm recording would have been available for such a use, but the World at War sequence sounds nothing like it) It's not vital, but it would be nice if it could be cleared up. From time to time, it is said, Hitler claimed Bruckner was his preferred composer, and his death was certainly announced on German radio followed by the adagio from the Seventh symphony86.138.157.64 (talk) 11:35, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Bruckner's Fifth Symphony by Matačić
I have reverted (again) the change made by Jean65 to the discography section for the following reason:

Matačić did not use Schalk's version, but an own version, which is a mix of Nowak's and Schalk's versions. See: "Some conductors make up their own versions as they go along. One of the most extreme was Lovro von Matačić who combined elements of Nowak and Schalk in his surprisingly effective recording of the Fifth." in William Carragan's article The Bruckner Versions, Once More. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:34, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
