ANTON BRUCKNER/SIMON RATTLE - Symphony No. 4
The Wagnerian magnificence of Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 was a revelatory discovery for me last year so I decided to explore some of his earlier symphonies. Symphony No. 4 took the composer seven years(!) to complete and what a struggle it must have been. It contains everything I love about Bruckner, slow quiet moments and massive wall-of-sound climaxes.
