Mario Venzago opposes the heavy, pathos-laden, slow sound of many current interpretations. His work with different ensembles aims to emphasise the depth of variety in Bruckner’s oeuvre, underscoring the fact that Bruckner wrote his symphonies over a period of twenty-seven years during which he developed spectacularly as a composer. The accompanying film documentation, Venzago’s Bruckner is an unconventional, original, and visionary look at a classical composer, touches on sacred subjects, offers insights into musical rehearsal processes and – subtly and authentically captured by Laurent Jaquet – the portrait of an observant, questing conductor.
