Bruckner |
|||
| When it comes to shaping a musical event for the ears and the eyes, the monumental majesty of Anton Bruckner's symphonies and the exhilarating vibrancy of St Florian's monastery are a perfect match, especially when they are captured on film so thrillingly by such an eminent director as Brian Large in 2012. Bruckner became acquainted with the monastery's organ in his childhood and served as the organist there from 1845 to 1855. | |||||

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. | |||||
