	SoundStage! Georg Tintner - Bruckner
		Levi, conductor of the first performance of Parsifal at Bayreuth, was at the height of his fame and powers and had, two years earlier, scored a resounding triumph with a performance of Bruckner's Seventh in Munich, where Levi was Hofkapellmeister.
		The Eighth was a massive symphony, almost certainly the longest to have been composed at that time, and Levi was simply baffled by it.
		He thus found himself unable to perform the new work, but he also lacked the courage to tell the composer this directly and so sought the mediation of Josef Schalk, one of Bruckner's pupils.

	The Anton Bruckner Pages-His Works / The Symphonies
		Basically he was well aware of his own worth and must have felt that his creative powers were at their zenith, which made it all the more agonising when he heard from Josef Schalk, that Levi could not give the Symphony his blessing.
		But as time went on he somehow or other managed to get over his disappointment, and we know from a letter from Josef Schalk to Levi dated 18 October 1887 that by mid-October he had started on a drastic revision of the entire Symphony.
		The preparation of this second version gave Bruckner a good deal of trouble, aggravated by his being interrupted by having to prepare the Fourth Symphony for publication as well as revising the Third.

	McFarland - Publisher of Reference and Scholarly Books
		One of these, the rabbi’s son Hermann Levi, conducted Wagner’s final opera—Parsifal, based on Christian legend—at Wagner’s request; no one, Wagner declared, understood his work so well.
		Drawing on extensive sources in both German and English, including Wagner’s autobiography and diary and the diaries of his second wife, this comprehensive treatment of Wagner’s anti—Semitism is the first to place it in perspective with his life and work.
		Included in the text are portions of unpublished letters exchanged between Wagner and Hermann Levi.
