The most comprehensive Bruckner Symphonies cycle, including all 19 available versions.
This third release of the Capriccio Bruckner Edition, of Symphony in D minor, "Die Nullte" is performed by Bruckner Orchestra Linz conducted by Markus Poschner. Although the work did not belong to the corpus of nine numbered symphonies which the composer had identified in his will as worthy of preservation in the imperial library, and for which he is best remembered, he did not destroy it. Hoping perhaps, to ensure that future generations would assess the symphony in what he considered its proper perspective, he wrote annotations at various places in the manuscript: “invalid” [ungiltig] “completely void” [ganz nichtig] and “annulled” [annulirt].
This new complete Bruckner Symphonies edition from Capriccio reassesses these enduringly enigmatic and complex works. Presented by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, the cycle is scheduled for completion in 2024, Bruckner’s 200th birthday. © Capriccio
