This is a very controlled performance of this highly inventive work. Bruckner is not everyone's favourite and it takes patience and musical understanding to fully appreciate his music. I urge others to listen. There are rewards to be had.

GREEEAAAT symphony, excellent performance! I love number 6, one of my favourites, although all Bruckner symphonies are magnificent.

[@watarutenga2905]

Eschenbach and Kent Nagano are both masters of the 6th. The first movement is so difficult to hold together, with all of the sudden digressions along the way. Eschenbach and this young, talented orchestra manage to keep the main energy flowing all the way through, which is something even Karajan could not do. Watching this video, I was impressed with how important the role of the lead flute is, and how well she played her part. I have been listening to Bruckner's symphonies for more than fifty years and am now ready to call this one of my favorites, alongside the more complex 5th and the sublime 7th.

[@BrucknerMotet]

don't forget about Klemperer

[@aysaraktimur2064]

I must respectfully disagree! Young and talented orchestra… Of course, talented! Young? Maybe, with respect to some of the musicians playing the piece, but not the orchestra! This is celebrated Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, which the historical Alte Oper in Frankfurt is the home of. This powerful orchestra has always been one of the most important columns holding German symphonic music tradition with quite a number of celebrated music directors. And this very orchestra recorded all 11 symphonies by Anton Bruckner, yes, it is not a typo, eleven symphonies by Bruckner, along with complete symphonies by Gustav Mahler and Dmitri Shostakovich very successfully for the Japanese recording firm “Denon”, in early 1980s, under the direction of Eliahu Inbal, it was about 40 years ago, those recordings has kept being issues by other companies up until now. The important points with those recordings are: They include first ever, world premiere recordings of first versions of Bruckner’s 3rd (1873), 4th (1874), and 8th (1887) symphonies, all in Leopold Nowak Editions. Also, this orchestra were among the pioneers of recording complete performing versions of Bruckner’s 9th and Mahler’s 10th, again, under the direction of Eliahu Inbal. With such a rich history of tradition behind, this orchestra cannot be considered “young”. Thank you. 🤗

[@BrucknerMotet]

Totally agree. Klemperer invited me into this experience, and now I'm enjoying the excellence of other conductors by simply refusing to assume that there's only ever just one recording that is the "best".

[@ilirllukaci5345]

I believe it was Brahms' favorite among Bruckner's symphonic movements.

[@KenKen3593]

That sustained conclusion is like nothing else. I still prefer the 8th and 9th’s 3rd movements just because of the grand scale they achieve, but this still manages something else entirely.

08:33 , 09:04 a glorious recapitulation. 13:29 the sublime start of Coda and 15:24 the victorious ending.

[@Mathi80]

If I'm not mistaken, it's fake recapitulation in Eb major fortissimo in 8:33 (letter M), onto pretend recapitulation in A major, triple-forte at 9:04 (letter N), and then finally the formal recapitulation beginning 20 bars later, piano with the woodwinds added, at 9:47. One of the most ingenious constructions of Bruckner's, festive with a twinkle in the eye. And then that coda, and then that slow movement...

[@froehlicherelter]

There is a true Bruckner´s orchestral sound: Some soft beautiful theme coming from the woods, while doble basses turn into disharmony, and, suddenly, you´ll find yourself in the middle of a stormy (main) theme - with all brass climbing onto a -false- fermata . . . And all starts again with innocent variations . . . ! It is a challenge to listeners and - naturallly for interpreters and conductors of the best !

[@philthefox1948]

Presque d'accord avec vous quant au chef et au fantastique HR Frankfurter. Presque car, dû à l'acoustique très reverberante du lieu, j'eus préféré un tempo un brin plus lent. Mais ce n'est que mon avis, ou plutôt ma sensibilité.

[@niallbuchanan8825]

This is a great performance. I once saw Karajan conduct Bruckner's 5th in the 1980s which was magisterial and this is as good if not better. Eshenbach has a powerful but restrained conducting technique that can be so subtle. The church is the ideal venue for Bruckner.Lucky audience.

[@rolfisdreamworld489]

Bruckner hat es schon drauf gehabt. Diese Musik kommt natürlich erst live zur vollen Entfaltung. und hier 15:47 deutet er so nebenbei das "star Wars Thema" an. heute wäre er wahrscheinlich der meistgebuchte Filmkomponist Hollywoods.

[@jurigagarin5741]

Nichts star wars sondern Lawrence von Arabien xD

[@markmulfinger3922]

Would love to have been there to see it and hear it in that church the acoustics must have been unique!

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

To me, this and the Third are the most immediately accessible and ingratiating of Bruckner's symphonies; I can't understand why the Sixth is considered by many to be atypical and inferior. It somehow seems more relaxed, less profound than, say, the Fourth or Seventh, but still full of life and meaning. The 'adagio' has the sweetest and loveliest of melodies, but then the whole score reflects some of Bruckner's finest inspirations. Conductor Eschenbach presents the music beautifully, as does the Orchestra. Sometimes I've found his view of a score to be somewhat turgid, but not here.

[@HeelPower200]

The heart of this symphony is the adagio ,and its every bit as profound as I can possibly imagine. Its also deeply..sensual..I think it indicates a strong sense of longing,unrequited love and unfulfilled existence. Its truly achingly beautiful and nostalgic music. It rips your chore apart. Yeah, Bruckner was a ROMANTIC!

[@annakimborahpa]

In my opinion, the 6th's Scherzo and Finale are not as convincing as its first two movements which are wonderful. Despite some enchanting passages, the Scherzo seems like a dream of unrelated musical images passing by and the Finale is ever so disjointed with its jerking stops and starts. Bruckner's next symphony, the Seventh in E Major, balanced his inspiration out well among its four movements, as posterity's testimony to its popularity indicates. Alas, the 6th appears destined to always remain a select wine for certain devotees of the composer that included Leonard Bernstein, as it is one of only two Bruckner symphonies that he ever recorded.

[@annakimborahpa]

Wonderful and most appropriate rallentando by Maestro Eschenbach starting at 1:00:01 for the surprise return of the first movement's first theme at the end the Finale, now radiant in a glorious and majestic A Major. Bravo!

[@robertoschmidlin7318]

Muito bom poder ouvir as diversas sinfonias de Bruckner. Um raro privilégio.

[@barrybernstein9049]

The most underrated of Bruckner's masterpieces. And yet its his most original symphony. This with the 9th were the only two symphonies of Bruckner that another Bernstein loved and recorded. Some of the great film score composers for Blockbuster films . In the past Alfred Newman in the past . And the likes of John Williams would of or will tell you how much they are indebited to Bruckner. In this symphony it is fun to suss out some of these. I will give you two for a start . Then try and find some more and you will. The sonata form second movement's main theme is the main theme for Alfred Newman's " Song of Benadette" Nine minutes into the opening movement think of the main theme of Maurice Jarre's " Lawrence of Arabia" And carry on from there. The second movement is near heaven for me. BUT with the chorale coda of the first movement with more than thirty modulations we are into Bach territory. What does amuse me is that Hans Zimmer doesn't rate Bruckner. May I suggest to Mr Zimmer that his finest film score music Chevaliers De Sangreal from " The Da Vinci Code" has more than a resemblance to some of Bruckner's final notes he composed before dying without completing his 9th symphony. The minimalism before the coda we hear in the completed versions.

[@barrybernstein4459]

I counted 30 modulations in the chorale coda in the first movement and stopped counting . This has to be Bruckner's most original symphony and the inspiration for quite a few blockbuster movies. Including Lawrence of Arabia, The Big Country, The Song of Bernadette to name a few.The only disappointment in my opinion is the trouble Bruckner has in getting back to A major in the last movement finale. Bur not every finale coda can give you the goose pimples of say the 3rd, fifth or 8th.

[@BritinIsrael]

For me the final coda of the 4th gives me the most goose pimples and simply makes my body shudder.( Inbal conducting the 4th with this great Frankfurt orchestra on You Tube) . By the way this performance of the 6th is terrific.

[@alantang5732]

This performance is consistent to Eschenbach's rendering in his recording with London Philharmonic in 2010, and I like it a lot! There seems to be a minor glitch by the oboist in the coda of second movement (33:05). He added a grace note to the B flat on bar 158 (sounds like a blip of just one octave above, could be just fingering...). It would be negligible if it were other places, but not here, this is the last recall of the main theme, the final touch, specifically written for solo oboe.
