Seiji Ozawa conducts Bruckner’s First Symphony
Anton Bruckner called his First Symphony a “saucy maid”. And in fact, such high-spirited exuberance is not found in any of the composer’s other works. The culmination is the Finale, in which Bruckner combines his excellent command of polyphonic writing with powerful ferocity. The conductor for this recording from 2009 is Seiji Ozawa – a close friend and honorary member of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
