About
Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden already released the Bruckner symphonies Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and continue their Bruckner Cycle at the Philharmonie in Munich with Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Bruckner’s first masterful composition. Thielemann, widely regarded as the leading Brucknerian of our age, opted for the livelier early original Linz version of this symphony. Buckner himself called it ‘a cheeky wench’ and said about the finale: ‘Never again have I been so audacious and bold’.

It is an extraordinary work, weird and lovable…The Dresden Staatskapelle is, as always, a wonder to hear and to behold…though the assembled audience goes wild at the end, [Thielemann] seems to be intent on pushing the work towards a status which it doesn’t have or even try to have…Even so, many viewers will find it splendid.
