Live aus St. Florian, 01.09.12 When it comes to shaping a musical event for the ears andthe eyes, the monumentaI majesty of Anton Bruckner s (1824 1896) symphonies and the exhiIarating vibrancy of St. FIorian s monastery in Austria are a perfect match especialIy when they are captured on fi Im so thriIlingly by such an eminent director as Brian Large. The Fourth Symphonymarks a major miIestone in Bruckner s attempt to estabIish a symphonic design suitabIe to sustain his innovative musicaI thought. Not surprisingIy, the score was subjected to extensive revisions. The Fourth, in fact, represents the most convoIuted revision history of aII his symphonies and this for a composer for whom variant editions of a work, often invoIving substantial changes, became the norm. The resuIt is that the identifi cation of the authentic fi nal score that should be performed is a matter of ongoing debate for many of his symphonies in particuIar the Fourth. Franz WeIser-Möst, the Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestraand GeneraI Music Director of the Vienna State Opera, is an acknowledged Bruckner speciaIist who has developed a passion for the composer s Fourth Symphony caIIed the Romantic by its creator in its infrequently played fi rst edition (1888/89). The CIeveIand Orchestra, caIled the most European of America s prestige formations, has been setting new standards in Bruckner interpretation for severaI years now through the expertise of Franz WeIser-Möst, who elicits a grandiose interpretation from his technically unsurpassabIe ensemble ... lt was an exceIIent concert ... as anticipated.
