About this product

?Bruckner's frantic revisions of his symphonies Nos. 3, 4, and 8 were borne out of his disappointment with Hermann Levi rejecting the original version of the 8th symphony. Helping in this large-scale revamping effort were former Bruckner-students Franz and Joseph Schalk, Ferdinand Löwe, Max von Oberleithner, and Cyrill Hynai, which resulted in these versions' reputation - and especially that of the last version of the 4th - being varnished as something not quite Echt-Bruckner. It wasn't until the discovery of photographs of the 1888 version's manuscript score and the subsequent publication of Benjamin Korstvedt's edition thereof that it became clear This late edition really did reflect Bruckner's intentions. To ears familiar with the still better-known 1881 version, the result might sound mystifying, even troubling, but it also surprises with many particularly exquisite passages! Album Tracks 1. Sinfonie Nr. 4 Es-Dur InchDie RomantischeInch~Ruhig bewegt (nur nicht schnell) 2. Sinfonie Nr. 4 Es-Dur InchDie RomantischeInch~Andante 3. Sinfonie Nr. 4 Es-Dur InchDie RomantischeInch~Scherzo. Bewegt - Trio. Gemächlich 4. Sinfonie Nr. 4 Es-Dur InchDie RomantischeInch~Finale. Mäßig bewegt

ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra - Symphony No 4   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

I am completely convinced that my Fourth Romantic Symphony is in pressing need of a thorough revision. (Anton Bruckner, 1877). Since it's successful first performance by the Vienna Philharmonic under Hans Richter on February 20th, 1881, the Fourth Symphony has been one of Anton Bruckner's most beloved works. The success of the Fourth did not come easily to the composer as he revised the entire symphony twice and it's finale three times. The present recording features the second and most often performed version in a new edition by Benjamin Korstvedt, published as part of the New Anton Bruckner Collected Works Edition. It also includes Korstvedt's edition of the InchCountry FairInch (Volksfest) Finale that Bruckner composed in 1878 and replaced in 1880. Album Tracks 1. Symphony No. 4 in E-Flat Major, Wab 104 InchRomanticInch (1878-80 Version) 2. Symphony No. 4 in E-Flat Major, Wab 104 InchRomanticInch (1878 Version)

ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra - Symphony No. 4 (1876 Version)   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Continuing their survey of all of Anton Bruckner's symphonies in each and every one of their various versions, Markus Poschner and his team now tackle the original 1876 version of Bruckner's arguably most popular symphony, the Fourth. Inch1876? Surely you mean 1874!Inch might the Bruckner-maven go. Well, actually, recent research has brought to light that Bruckner was still fiddling around with his first go at that work, but not so substantially that the changes amounted to a separate version or, for that matter, the 1878 second InchstandardInch version. Paul Hawkshaw's liner notes detail all the differences if you're interested - but of course, one can also just enjoy the raw and fresh music of Bruckner's expansive first ideas.
