About
The Study Symphony is a summing-up of the craftsmanship acquired by Anton Bruckner – it did not particularly serve the development of his own artistic profile.
“It is”, evaluates his biographer Matthias Hansen, “as if Bruckner – one last time – wanted to play through what he had learned, taking great trouble and care not to forget the slightest detail”. Here, Bruckner tested the limits of the classical-romantic models, according to Hansen, “with a ‘borrowed’ looseness and flexibility, even with elegance” that he then dropped with the Symphony No.0.

this latest instalment of Simone Young's Bruckner cycle has the sturdiness of an old oak: roots deep in the earth, branches of wisdom...The Philharmoniker Hamburg roared in Young's Bruckner Eighth but here they approach the material with poker-faced restraint and delicacy. This is a disc that makes you listen with fresh ears to this slice Brucknerian juvenilia.
