Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony is one of the most original of all the composer’s symphonic
works. Its contrasting moods, 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 conducts the
Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs Urtext edition of the score.
With Bruckner I wouldn't have thought of Simon Rattle immediately, but my favourites so far have been rather the "old champions" like Haitink, Celibidache or Harnoncourt. So it will be exciting to hear how Mr. Rattle has solved this great task, thank's a lot!
