About this product
Thomas Zehetmaier gets off to a fantastic start with Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 3, the work marking his discographic debut as the principal conductor of the Musikkollegium Winterthur. This prizewinning, richly traditional Swiss orchestra once again offers a compelling performance enhanced by agile flexibility of chamber character. The overwhelming acoustics of the Winterthur Town Church contribute their share to the magnificent Bruckner sound, which here has been perfectly captured in three-dimensional 2+2+2 recording technology and released on a high resolution Super Audio album. Bruckner's insecurity about his own works is legendary. He repeatedly submitted his symphonies to radical revisions- often because of a few critical remarks. In any event, the InchThirdInch was a genuine disaster when it was premiered; the orchestra's musicians are even said to have left the stage during the performance. Perhaps the absolutely servile accumulation of quotations from Wagner was then somewhat too much of a good thing. As a consequence, Bruckner eliminated all the excessive Tristan and Ring baggage, and the result was a work of appealing design. What causes difficulty for many a gigantic orchestra is easy for the Winterthur musicians the realization of Bruckner's original tempo relations represents a genuine challenge. The syncopated unison passages in the finale assume brute force in the prescribed Allegro that normally would have been beyond the reach of a trim orchestral ensemble. It has been a long time since Bruckner sounded so fresh!

Immediately after completing the Second Symphony, Anton Bruckner (1824 -1896) continued a fruitful compositional spree by starting the draft of his Third. He had no way of knowing then that this work would continue to occupy him for the rest of his life. Dedicated to Richard Wagner, the work was written in 1873, revised in 1877, and again in 1890. It is regarded by many as Bruckner's artistic breakthrough. According to Rudolf Kloiber, the third symphony Inchopens the sequence of Bruckner's masterpieces, in which his creativity meets monumental ability of symphonic construction.Inch On this , Gerd Schaller leads the Philharmonie Festiva in the performance of the Third Symphony in it's 1890 revised version. German conductor Gerd Schaller is best known for his performance and recording of rare works. He conducted the first full recordings of Bruckner's output. Album Tracks 1.

•Bruckner's last mass is a masterpiece. Rooted in the traditional Austrian mass, it also contains symphonic elements found only in Beethoven's Missa solemnis, although Mahler can be seen on the horizon. Premiered in Vienna in 1872 to immense acclaim, the work is now performed both in the liturgy and in concert, a permanent part of the repertoire. In contrast to the monumental symphonies, here we encounter a very special soundscape, reaching from soft ethereal sounds to jubilant surges Details 1. Kyrie. Moderato 2. Gloria. Allegro 3. Credo. Allegro 4. Sanctus. Moderato 5. Benedictus. Allegro Moderato 6. Agnus Dei. Andante
![Bruckner / Concerto Budapest - Symphony 9 in D Minor - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5e348f5d-b3ff-44fd-8860-884a3cb28684.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Here it comes - the first fruit of the cooperation between the conductor András Keller, Concerto Budapest and TACET. Until now András Keller was well-known as a violinist and member of the Keller Quartet, but now he is allowed to shine as a conductor. When it comes to highly-recorded works, listeners often hear many favorable reviews. Again somebody praises a recording of Bruckner 9. But this recording is truly something special- from the masterful interpretation, to the high-quality recording. The last Bruckner symphony talks about grandeur and nullity, about self-doubt and certainty, about life and death. Every listener has to find out on his own if András Keller and his musicians convey the message trustworthily. They tried honestly, that was obvious in every minute of these 5 recording days.
