After the release of the Bruckner Symphonies Nos. 5, 8, and 9 with Christian Thielemann and the StaatskapelIe Dresden, the Bruckner cycle is continued here with Symphony No. 4, Romantic, one of Bruckners most popular works. Bruckners Fourth Symphony was dedicated to Prince Konstantin of Hohenloe-SchiIlingsfurst. It premiered in 1881 to much acclaim. Given the name Romantic by the composer himseIf, Bruckner emulates with this composition the same emotions as fellow Romantic composers Wagner, BerIioz, and Mendelssohn. lt is performed here in the presumed original version recovered by Robert Haas, which differs considerably from the first pubIished score, accepted by Bruckner as a stopgap onIy so that the work couId easily be performed. The press cheered the performance: Tone paintings of the finest quaIity. |
