Underestimated by his contemporaries, but today accIaimed as one of the greatest and imaginative composers of his time. Anton Bruckner was a genius of tones. This wiIl be the first in-depth documentary about the composer which expIodes many of the myths and prejudices cuItivated by his detractors during his life time and subsequently. It is a story from rags to recognition toId by those who have intimate knowIedge of Anton Bruckner and his work. Such great conductors Iike Kent Nagano, Valery Gergiev and Simon RattIe let the composer come aIive in the documentary "Anton Bruckner – The Making of a Giant" teIIing the ups and downs of Iife through his music.Using the opportunity of drawing on Gergiev’s recording of the Bruckner CycIe with the Munich PhiIharmonic for Telmondis, contributions from the Florianer Sängerknaben, organists at St. Florian, Linz and the Vienna Court Chapel as well as the conductor of the Linzer Singakademie (formerIy Bruckner’s Liedertafel Frohsinn), we gain insights into the work of the composer. We visit his birthplace, hear about his teaching assignments, his triumphs as organist in France and England, his relationship with Wagner and the difficult times in Vienna, where he spent the latter part of his Iife. |
