Bruckner : Symphony No. 9 conducted by Bernard Haitink

[@henryfate7170]

God Bless You Mr. Haitink. Your Bruckner brings me closer to God.

[@windycityliz7711]

It was Haitink who introduced me to Mahler when he was at the Chicago Symphony. He was much beloved there, and with good reason. I will always remember him.

[@marsaeolus9248]

The ending of the first movement is 100 years ahead of its time, it's incredible how today Bruckner still influences orchestral music

[@massimilianoquerro]

Yes, you are right, I was thinking the same thing.

It is certainly extraordinary to think it was written many years before The Rite of Spring but seems to me just as shocking in its mechanical brutality.

[@garydranch2014]

One of my favorite symphonies that evoke a spiritual apotheosis and captivate the listener into a mesmerizing landscape of the grandiosity of the human condition, with all its pathos, tragedy, passion, and ‘transfiguration’ to quote Strauss. Haitink’s interpretation is brilliant and he conveys his ideas with a minimum of motion-its simplicity and clarity capture the essence of his ideas that translate to a brilliant rendition by this fine french orchestra.

[@eyesandears6341]

[@annakimborahpa]

Bruckner did enjoy the success of his Symphony No. 7 in E Major at its premiere in Leipzig in 1884. Also, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria awarded him an imperial medal in 1886. However, like Mahler, a general appreciation of Bruckner's music eventually came about by the last half of the 20th century, aided by the development and sale of commercially available long playing phonograph recordings. By the 21st century, the symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler had become part of the standard symphonic repertoire.

[@annakimborahpa]

@Jeb Clar Generally I prefer Bruckner to Mahler, but I consider it a question of taste. For some Bruckner is too otherworldly ('no sex' paraphrasing Toscanini) and for others Mahler is too neurotic. In my opinion, they both wrote the most beautiful Adagios. Bruckner was Mahler's teacher and Mahler conducted the Viennese premiere of Bruckner's Sixth Symphony after the composer's death. If you like, please feel free to click the thumbs down next to my first comment and then it will be all tied up at 1-1 as of this hour. When someone gives me an especially critical comment for something I wrote elsewhere, I suggest that they enlist others to give me a thumbs down also. Just have some fun with it.

Stunning. He was on the precipice with this symphony. All he had learned from Wagner was now being transformed into a new music, one of sweeping proportions. I get the feeling that the great old organist at Linz was heartbroken in his craziness that he wouldn’t live to hear this new music, that of Debussy and Holst, and all the wonderful revolutions, subtle and obvious, that were about to happen in composition and in concert halls in Vienna and Paris.

[@devindevon]

More like the landscape of Wagner.

[@gezobel]

Correct ... for me it's the nearest musical equivalent of an astronaut exploring the universe.and eventually discovering the meaning of life on Earth. Bruckner did learn a few tricks from Wagner (& Beethoven) but the mighty sound is very much Bruckner's own and quite unique.

[@kennethdower7425]

@@devindevon LOL! Wrong.

[@devindevon]

@@kennethdower7425 So the fact that Bruckner directly quotes the music of Wagner in his Third Symphony, the "Wagner Symphony", which caries a dedication, "to the unreachable world-famous noble master of poetry and music" (guess who he's talking about) doesn't give you some hint of where Bruckner is coming from? Now picture this: Bruckner, falling to his knees in front of Wagner and kissing his hand, "Oh master, I worship you." "Be calm, Bruckner" responded Wagner... ha! Yes, this really happened. In Bruckner's world Wagner was second only to god, and Wagner's influence is all over Bruckner's symphonies. How can you not hear it?

Haitink is one of the world's great Bruckner conductors, if not one of the great conductors. This is a wonderful performance albeit not with one of top orchestras in Europe but a very good one. The coda in Movement 1 here is mesmerizing. I should say I prefer HvK's Bruckner to any others, and consider Celi to play Celi, not Bruckner.

[@grabitt.4013]

Haitink is indeed one of the great conductors. Dimitri Shostakovich seconds my motion, 46 years after he died.

[@detectivehome3318]

[@grabitt.4013]

This symphony apparently wasn't performed until 1930. I have not heard and don't know the purported 4th movement that some say has been recorded. I know that Bruckner said his TE DEUM would be a fitting finale. Curious to hear what others think or know.

[@benschweitzer6307]

The published version of the 9th was initially performed sometime in the first decade of the 20th c. (ca. 1904?), but that version is considered a corrupted text because the editors made a number of alterations to Bruckner's harmony to soften dissonances etc. 1930 is probably the date of the performance of the standard version of the symphony, with the removal of these alterations. Bruckner had lots of sketches for the intended fourth movement. I haven't seen them, but Carrigan and others have used them as the basis of their "completed" versions. Personally I've never found the completions of the Ninth particularly convincing, perhaps because they lack Bruckner's characteristic care in crafting large-scale structures.

[@notaire2]

Detaillierte Aufführung dieses Schwanengesangs von Bruckner mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt balancierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der dritte (vielleicht nicht letzte) Satz klingt echt feierlich im ziemlich langsamen Tempo. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im relativ langsamen Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Was Haitink betrifft, je älter, desto langsamer. Jedenfalls noch bewundernswert!

[@rolandgumpp4490]
