Bruckner |
|||
| Anton Bruckner's Symphony No 9 can be seen as a farewell to life. Even as Bruckner began working on it in 1887, his health had begun to fail. He expressed the hope that God would grant him enough time to complete it, and worked on it assiduously over the next years. However, by late 1894 he had completed only the first three movements. When he died on 11 October 1896, he left six different versions of the finale, all of them incomplete. | |||||

Bruckner |
|||
| Bruckner's Fifth Symphony has been called `the Medieval' because of its multi-layered, Baroque, contrapuntal tonal textures and `the Catholic' because of its solemn majesty. These designations are uniquely fitting to the work. Bruckner himself called it his `Fantastic', especially when it is performed at the Monastery of St Florian, as on this recording. It is not without reason that Bruckner also called the Fifth his contrapuntal masterpiece. | |||||
