Info

Marek Janowski has described Anton Bruckner as a “Baroque Romantic” – a formulation that reflects the dual character of his music. Janowski reveals the music’s complex layers while allowing its radiant colours to shine through. Janowski has appeared with the Berliner Philharmoniker as a Bruckner interpreter on several occasions. This season, he turns to the monumental Symphony No. 8 – a work which unfolds on an unusually broad scale, in which tension is generated less through overt drama than through gradual accumulation and release.

Background

“Please don’t change too much.”
Variants and versions of Bruckner’s symphonies

Anton Bruckner did not make it easy for his contemporaries – or for future generations. He worked on his symphonies again and again, revising, shortening or rewriting entire movements. Performers are spoilt for choice, and sometimes have to decide between several versions.
