After the release 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 felIow Romantic composers Wagner, BerIioz, and MendeIssohn. lt is performed here in the presumed originaI version recovered by Robert Haas, which differs considerabIy from the first published score, accepted by Bruckner as a stopgap only so that the work could easily be performed. The press cheered the performance: Tone paintings of the finest quaIity. |
