Is Bruckner "Wagnerian"? Here are some of my observations: The "meaning" of Bruckner's music lies in the symphonic form of purely instrumental music. Bruckner's language is the magnificent and glorious sound of brass, timpani and the songs of the birds expressed so serenely and sadly by the tone of the winds. The musical note itself speaks the language of depth. However, one of the most significant "meanings" of Wagner's music is its narrative (i.e. operas) and symbols (e.g. leitmotifs) of myth (e.g. Der Ring Des Niebelungen often called Ring). Musical leitmotifs connects the musical theme with symbolic concepts, characters and objects (e.g. love, Brunnhilde, gold). Some movements of Bruckner symphonies such as the 7th's adagio recapitulate the theme of his sacred choral work, Te Deum. Thus, some musical themes are symbolically linked to his religious beliefs. However, the core theme of his music exists in the symphonic form and note itself is the essence of Bruckner's music.

B BRUCKNER, ANTON BIOGRAPHY Bruckner, born near Linz in 1824, is known chiefly as a symphonist. He was trained as a school-teacher and organist, and served in the second capacity in Linz until moving in 1868 to Vienna to teach harmony, counterpoint and organ at the Vienna Conservatory. His success as a composer was varied in his life-time, his acceptance hampered by his own diffidence and his scores posing editorial problems because of his readiness to revise what he had written. He was nine years the senior of Brahms, who outlived him by six months. Bruckner continued Austro-German symphonic traditions on a massive scale, his techniques of composition influenced to some extent by his skill as an organist and consequently in formal improvisation.

Classical Composers Biography of Anton Bruckner Biography of Anton Bruckner Austrian Composer and Organist of the Romantic Period Tel Asiado Sep 6, 2007 Anton Bruckner spent most of his life quietly composing, but now he's regarded as 19th-century's great symphonic masters. Anton Bruckner, Austrian composer and organist of the 19th-century's Romantic Era, did not win wide recognition for many years. Now, he is regarded as one of the great symphonic composers of that period. He is famous for his Symphony No.7. The Quiet Achiever As a composer or a person, it's not easy to categorize Anton Bruckner. His life is full of fascinating yet absorbing paradox. Unlike Wagner who greatly influenced him and he admired, Anton Bruckner did not openly promote his pursuits nor did he exhude the Vienna sophistication. Although he moved in Viennese circles, he remained much like an outsider until his death on October 1896. He was cathedral organist at Linz and professor at the Vienna Conservatoire.

Album Anton Bruckner [Hyperion] Composer: Anton Bruckner Conductor: Stephen Layton Ensemble: Polyphony Released: 01 October 2007 Catalogue #: Review by Charlotte Gardner 13 December 2007 Whilst many would deny the need for a religious faith in order to compose powerful religious works (e.g. does Faure's Requiem really suffer from him being an atheist?), there can be little doubt that Bruckner's strong Catholic faith produced some of the most wonderful music in the 19th century sacred choral repertoire. Polyphony and Stephen Layton have chosen to record his Mass No.2 in E minor , which is sandwiched between seven of the motets including "Ave Maria" and the atmospheric "Os iusti", and the sound they make is simply wonderful. This CD can't come recommended highly enough. Moving on from the motets, the Mass, with its unusually sparse instrumental scoring and use of wind band rather than conventional orchestra, is beautifully sung and sensitively accompanied by the Britten Sinfonia.

Anton Bruckner Historical Symphony Recordings A list of known recordings of Bruckner symphonies made between 1924 and 1959 Last updated on June 29th, 2005 (ver. 11.6). Compiled by Lionel Tacchini with help from Deryk Barker, John Berky, Radcliffe Bond, William Carragan, Michael Gray, Dermot Gault, David Griegel, Ramon Khalona, Mark Kluge, Benjamin Korstvedt, Rob Kruijt, Bruce Morrison, Kevin Mostyn, Hans Roelofs, Lani Spahr, Matthew B. Tepper and Jeff Weinstein This list contains all recordings of Bruckner symphonies made before 1960, partial or complete, known to me to the present date, regardless of their publication history. It is hopefully not complete and will be updated as I hear of new items. Uncertainties about date or attribution are mentioned when known. The symphony in D minor from 1869, usually referred to as "Die Nullte" or "no. 0", is simply called the symphony in D minor. Accurate information on the various versions of Bruckner's symphonies is available on David Griegel's website . References to 78 rpms, LP and CD issues of the published recordings in this list will be found in the Bruckner Symphony Version Discography .

In 1851 became official organist of St Florian and in 1855 was appointed organist of Linz Cath. Also in 1855 decided to study harmony and counterpoint with Simon Sechter in Vienna, lessons which continued until 1861. In 1862 studied orchestration in Linz with Otto Kitzler, cellist and cond., who also introduced him to Wagner's mus. From this period, 1863-9, came 3 Masses and 3 syms. In 1868 moved to Vienna, where he was to live for the next 28 years, to succeed Sechter as prof. of harmony and counterpoint at the Cons. Tristan and their friendship grew. The 3rd sym. of 1873 was ded. to Wagner. Though this was a matter of personal delight to Bruckner, it made him the butt of Viennese mus. politics at the period of great hostility between the supporters of Brahms and of Wagner and ensured him the critical hostility of Hanslick.

Contents 1 Biography 2 Music 2.1 The Symphonies 2.2 Sacred Choral Works ... 3 External links Biography Anton Bruckner was born in Ansfelden to a schoolmaster and organist father with whom he first studied music. He worked for a few years as a teacher's assistant, fiddling at village dances at night to supplement his income. He studied at the Augustinian monastery in St. Florian , becoming an organist there in 1851. He continued his studies to the age of 40, under Simon Sechter and Otto Kitzler , the latter introducing him to the music of Richard Wagner , which Bruckner studied extensively from 1863 onwards. He had alrady in 1861 made acquaintance with Liszt who was religious like Bruckner and who first and foremost was a harmonic innovator, initiating the new german school together with Wagner. Soon after Bruckner had ended his studies under Sechter and Kitzler, he wrote his first mature work, the

Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 5 in B flat major Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Georg Tintner NAXOS 8.5553452 Playing time: 76:46 There was a time when Anton Bruckner's music was considered unfashionable. Luckily, times change. The Schwann Opus reference guide now lists over two-hundred different recordings of his nine symphonies. In fact, there are twenty-three different versions of the great Fifth Symphony With this in mind, innovative record company Naxos has chosen veteran conductor Georg Tintner and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra to justify a new complete cycle of the Bruckner symphonies. Georg Tintner is known to me only through his exceptional work with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada. His biography suggests experience as a conductor of opera both in Europe and Australia. He has also been Music Director of Symphony Nova Scotia, Canada's maritime orchestra. The new Naxos recording is a somewhat hit-and-miss affair. Interpretively, Tintner has some interesting things to say. He conveys effectively Bruckner's sense of mystery and awesome power, and allows the orchestra leeway to produce some thrilling sounds. Tintner shapes the angular theme that opens the symphony, with strong, propulsive energy. Happily, this rhythmic quality is sustained through most of the movement. Much of the great Adagio has a lovely elegiac quality, and the Scherzo is incisive, yet rustic in quality. And yet, though the musicians' efforts are well-intentioned, much of the performance does not convince. Consistency and purpose, in some ways, are missing, and the lack of conviction diminishes Bruckner. I felt unmoved.
