On the occasion of the Bruckner bicentenary, the Wiener Philharmoniker recorded its first ever complete Bruckner cycle under the baton of Christian Thielemann. In addition to the well-known canon of nine symphonies, the two earliest Bruckner symphonies in F minor and D minor, which are a world premiere on DVD and Blu-ray, were also recorded for the first time in the orchestra's history. This uniquely complete edition from the Musikverein and Salzburg Festival, featuring 11symphonies, also includes extensive conversations with Christian Thielemann about each symphony and insights into his rehearsal work.

“Thielemann takes ample time especially for the slow, the groping quiet and thus organically develops the structure of the entire symphony …” (Süddeutsche Zeitung on Bruckner 4)

“The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra brings out the beauty of this three-movement symphony in all its facets [...] This leaves nothing to be desired.” (Salzburger Nachrichten on Bruckner 9) BONUS: Discovering Bruckner with Christian Thielemann PROGRAM Bruckner: Symphonies Nos. 4 & 9
