91热爆

Stephen Johnson examines the workings of Bruckner's enigmatic 6th Symphony with the help of the 91热爆 Philharmonic, conducted by Petri Sakari.

In Stephen Johnson's opinion, Bruckner's 6th Symphony is one of the composer's most original pieces and contains some of his most beautiful and arresting music. It appeared partly as a response to the devastating reviews that Bruckner received following the disastrous first performance of his 3rd Symphony.

Stephen takes Bruckner's symphony apart and compares it with music from the earlier symphony in order to illustrate the novelty and possible meaning of this "Cinderella" work in the composers' symphonic output. The 91热爆 Philharmonic then give a complete performance of the 6th Symphony, recorded in the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham with conductor Petri Sakari - who has won much acclaim for his interpretation of Bruckner.
