Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 6 – an introduction by Herbert Blomstedt Herbert Blomstedt conducts Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony
Bruckner’s Sixth is performed far less than the composer’s other symphonies – unjustly so, as Herbert Blomstedt shows in this vivid performance. As the Tagesspiegel wrote, “The Philharmoniker follow him attentively, surrendering themselves to this smouldering music, with dazzling brass and a string sound of truly intoxicating depth”. Plus, Blomstedt conducts Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with its gloriously driving momentum.
