Sir Simon Rattle & Berliner Ph | Bruckner Symphony No. 9 | 1LP

Anton Bruckner was an Austrian organist and composer, born in Ansfelden in 1824 and died in Vienna in 1896. He is best known for his symphonies, masses, Te Deum and motets, which are considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism. Since 1868 he taught organ and counterpoint at the Vienna conservatory, and he was also known as an organ concert player. After his death his symphonic-choral compositions found acclaim in Europe and around the world.

This is a vinyl release of Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 in its four movement version, performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.
