Jakub HrusaAbout
In 2024, the music world celebrates the 200th anniversary of Anton Bruckner's birth on 4 September 1824. On this occasion, the Bamberg Symphony - an orchestra well-versed in the interpretation of Bruckner's symphonic cosmos - and their music director Jakub Hrůša present a new recording of the composer's last and unfinished symphony, his Ninth.
On 30 November 1894, Bruckner completed the third movement of his Ninth Symphony, which, like all of its predecessors, was laid out in four movements. Work on the finale began on 24 May 1895, around 16 months before his death. He composed the first 172 bars of the movement in full, after which the score is at least partially orchestrated for a further 200 bars. Although a playable version of the finale of Bruckner's Symphony no.9 is now available, in practical life the three-movement torso has become the norm. It seems as if the non-completion paradoxically claims its place. The Austrian critic and musicologist Walter Weidringer wrote that the Ninth "may be taken as one of those examples from music history that prove that even fragments can display a degree of completion which no longer seems capable of improvement."
A production of Accentus Music in co-production with BRKLASSIK.
