William Boughton - Concerto for Double String Orchestra - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

William Boughton - Violin Concerto & Symphony No 1 [COMPACT DISCS] date 08/10/2010

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.
