Bruckner's Symphony No. 5 Anton Bruckner grew up an unsophisticated teacher’s son.  By the time he reached Vienna and the composition of his Symphony No. 5, he had a sound combining Beethoven’s sense of mystery and suspense, Schubert’s harmony, and Wagner’s breadth in unfolding, plus a symphonic vision all his own.

An often criticized social misfit during his time in Vienna, Bruckner's success with his Symphony No. 7 came as a happy and restorative surprise to the composer, described by his friend Gustav Mahler as "half simpleton, half God." Speaking to today's audiences with sin­gular directness, Bruckner 7 remains the most loved of his nine symphonies.

Carnegie Hall's Director of Artistic Planning Jeremy Geffen and Sir Simon Rattle of the Berliner Philharmoniker introduce Bruckner's spiritual and sweeping Ninth Symphony. Written when he was aware of his approaching death, the symphony's final movement, described by Geffen "as expansive and heartfelt a piece as he ever wrote," remained unfinished by the time Bruckner passed away in 1896. Sir Simon Rattle explains how that final movement has been reconstructed from the fragments left by Bruckner.
