About

Bruckner’s Symphony no.6 is one of the most original of all the composer’s symphonic works. Its contrasting mood and overarching theme moving from darkness to light can be haunting one moment and ecstatic the next, culminating in one of the most enigmatic symphonic conclusions of the 19th century. For this recording, Sir Simon Rattle chose the Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs Urtext edition of the score, having conducted the UK premiere of the new publication with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in 2016.

March/April 2020

Putting it in the best light, this is a performance that attempts to make the Bruckner Sixth more alive and urgent, less monumental and settled. That’s a direction I approve of, so a recommendation is all but automatic. Rattle brings a major podium talent to the score, which shows even if you don’t fully accept some of his interpretive notions.
