Sir Simon Rattle on the completed Ninth Symphony of Anton Bruckner (2012)
Simon Rattle conducts the completed Ninth Symphony by Anton Bruckner
Simon Rattle is certain that if Anton Bruckner had lived only two months longer, he would have been able to complete the finale of his Ninth Symphony. In a sensational concert in 2011, Rattle presented a reconstruction of “monolithic, threatening presence” (Gramophone magazine), based on Bruckner’s extensive sketches. As a central work of the Rattle era, the completed symphony can now be heard again.
