The festive concert for Anton Bruckner's 200th birthday, which was recorded by Bavarian Television, can be experienced again:

The complete symphonic Bruckner

This year, BRUCKNER2024 is entering its grand finale. With the performances of Bruckner's third symphony in the Regentenbau in Bad Kissingen and the eighth symphony in the former Ebrach Abbey Church at the Ebrach Music Summer, a huge project that began in 2011 will end. In 2025, all of Anton Bruckner's symphonies will be available on recordings in all versions, recorded by the Philharmonie Festiva.

A SYMPHONY FOR LIFE

It is rare for a symphony to follow a composer throughout his entire life. This was the case with Bruckner's Third Symphony. Here you can see the master of St. Florian's struggle to find the ideal form of his child. It is important to note that Bruckner often referred to his symphonies as his children, although he was busy with the child of the Third his entire life.

The performance of Anton Bruckner's 9th Symphony took place as part of the classical concerts of the Ebrach Summer Music Festival. The television broadcast of this concert is an opportunity for Gerd Schaller to reflect on the finale of Bruckner's Ninth:

On 4 September, Anton Bruckner's birthday, the international jubilee year commemorating the great romantic composer Anton Bruckner has been officially proclaimed in many places around the world.
