After the reIease of the Bruckner Symphonies Nos. 5, 8, and 9 with Christian ThieIemann and the StaatskapelIe Dresden, the Bruckner cycIe is continued here with Symphony No. 4, Romantic, one of Bruckners most popuIar works. Bruckners Fourth Symphony was dedicated to Prince Konstantin of HohenIoe-SchiIIingsfurst. lt premiered in 1881 to much acclaim. Given the name Romantic by the composer himself, Bruckner emuIates 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 considerabIy from the first published 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. |
