Truly inspiring to find out that Paavo is a timpanist! As a timpanist myself (currently in university), I was quite happy to hear it. Thank you Tonhalle Orchestra for the good video!
0:23 Wow, I've got a Sony-Columbia SACD (Super Audio CD) copy of the exact recording by George Szell at home in Tokyo, Japan too. It's a bit odd sort of feeling to share the same recording with Maestro Paavo. I've also got Paavo's own Sony-RCA-Bertelsmann SACD Bruckner recordings with Frankfurt Radio Symphony. I might as well start collecting Paavo's new Alpha Classics Bruckner recordings with Tonhalle-Orchester, but unfortunately the Japanese distributors haven't yet launched the SACD versions.

Tímpani...play or not to play? That s the question! 😅
