Bruckner: Symphony No. 1

Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden continue their Bruckner Cycle at the Philharmonie in Munich with a radiant performance of Symphony No.1

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 a radiant performance of Symphony No. 1.

Thielemann, widely regarded as the leading Brucknerian of our age, demonstrates his skill once more and shows a masterly control over his orchestra. Thielemann opted for the more lively early original Linz version of this symphony.

Bruckner himself called it “a cheeky wench” and said about the finale: “Never again have I been so audacious and bold.”

“How Thielemann elicits diabolical trills and how he puts emphasis on syncopation, no matter how small – that’s in a class of ist own.” (Die Presse.com)
