Bruckner Symphony No 7 (2014)

In Anton Bruckners 7th Symphony the listener encounters a music characterized by great spaciousness and profound solemnity a music which speaks of grief and lamentation but also of their transcendence With its monumental architecture and intensity of sound the symphony has moved listeners ever since its triumphal premiere in 1884 The Guardian calls Daniel Barenboims London interpretation Tremendous Barenboim and the Staatskapelle seem to have this work in their systems and the overall impression was of music unfolding organically at its own pace rather than of a work being selfconsciously interpreted or led Anton Bruckner Symphony No 7 in E major original version Daniel Barenboim conductor Staatskapelle Berlin Recorded live at the Philharmonie Berlin 25 June 2010
