Interview
Christian Thielemann in conversation with Sebastian Krunnies Unfamiliar Bruckner with Christian Thielemann
Anton Bruckner on the path to self-discovery: this concert presents two almost unknown symphonies by the composer, neither of which are included in the official count. The Symphony in F minor is Bruckner’s first attempt in the genre. Although the composer described the work as “school work”, it delights with its verve and Romantic warmth. In the case of the so-called “Nullte” (“No. 0”), it is fascinating how Bruckner’s unmistakable personal style takes shape. Conductor Christian Thielemann is known for his Bruckner interpretations, making this journey of discovery particularly rewarding.
