Anton Bruckner

  • Anton Bruckner Chamber Music Worth a Listen

    May 27th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Altomonte Ensemble, Anton Bruckner, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Gramola

    For most audiences, the equation is simple. Anton Bruckner = symphonies. And while symphonies may have been the best form of expression for Bruckner, he did write in other genres. This release features two of his chamber works. Albeit these are early compositions, and it’s easy to hear Brucker’s influences in them. But still, these […]

  • Manfred Honeck and Pittsburgh Symphony’s sterling Bruckner 9

    Oct 27th, 2020 | By Tim Snider
    Tags: Anton Bruckner, CD Review, Classical music, Manfred Honeck, Orchestral music, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Reference Recordings, SACD

    It is rare when the quality of the performance, the clarity of the recording, and the insightfulness of the liner notes all come together in one outstanding release. Manfred Honeck’s recording of a live performance of Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony in February 2018 with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in Pittsburgh’s Heinz Hall, released on the Reference […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalTimeMachine Week 2

    Oct 16th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalTimeMachine, #ClassicsaDay, Anton Bruckner, Edward Elgar, Frederic Chopin, Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel, Twitter

    For the month of October, the Classics a Day team turned nostalgic. Classical musicians have been making recordings since the 1890s. So we all have over 130 years of documented performance practices. And we can judge first-hand the artistry of legendary performers. The challenge is to post classical recordings made before 1949 (pre-LP era). Here […]

  • Charlottesville Symphony concert just misses the mark

    Nov 18th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anton Bruckner, Ben, Ben Wager, benjamin rous, Brenda Patterson, charlottesville symphony orchestra, Classical music, Concert Review, Felix Mendelssohn, Jamison Walker, Jessie Montgomery, Katy Ambrose, Michael Slon, Pamela Beasley, Richard Strauss, UVA University Singers

    One phrase characterizes my impression of the Charlottesville Symphony’s November 16th concert: “it was great, except for…” The program itself, “Romantic Titans” was first-rate. The first half of the program featured two orchestral works; the second two large-scale choral works. Maestro Benjamin Rouse freely admitted “Caught by the Wind” was something of an outliner. Composer […]

  • Anton Bruckner Complete Piano Music Complete Surprise

    Aug 15th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anton Bruckner, Brilliant Classics, CD Review, Classical music, Classical piano, Francesco Pasqualotto, Romantic period

    May I use the word “revelatory?” It most accurately describes my reaction to this release of Anton Brucker’s piano music. Bruckner’s reputation (rightly) rests on his symphonies. But those were far in the future of the young student who wrote these piano pieces. All of the works recorded were composed as student pieces and composition […]

  • Bruckner Symphonies 4, 7 & 9

    Feb 10th, 2012 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anton Bruckner, Gerd Schaller, Hannsler Classics, live recording, orchestral, Philharmonia Festiva, Romantic period

    It has taken about a century for the symphonies of Austrian composer Anton Bruckner to enter the repertories of major orchestras. One of his champions is German conductor Gerd Schaller, most widely known in Germany as an opera conductor and founder and music director of the Ebracher Musiksommer Festival. His recording with the Philharmonie Festiva […]
