One of the world’s foremost orchestras, the Vienna Philharmonic performs a towering symphony by a composer with whom it has an unusually close relationship: Anton Bruckner. This historic ensemble has premiered several of the composer’s symphonies since the late 19th century, and under the leadership of Bruckner expert Christian Thielemann, it is in the midst of a thorough reinvestigation and recording of the full Bruckner symphony cycle. “The claim that this orchestra is essentially the only genuine original sound ensemble for the music of Anton Bruckner should remain beyond dispute” (Die Presse). Nothing compares to hearing it live at Carnegie Hall.
