About

The premiere of Bruckner's First Symphony took place on 9 May 1868, in the Redoutensaal in Linz, with the augmented opera orchestra conducted by the composer. The Dresden Royal Musical Chapel played the work for the first time on 14 March 1911, under the direction of its Kapellmeister Hermann Kutzschbach. Christian Thielemann's engagement with the symphonic work of Anton Bruckner takes him in this recording to the composer's early years. The carefree mood of the First Symphony's last movement prompted the mature Bruckner to comment: "Never was I so bold and cheeky again."

Since the 2012/2013 season Christian Thielemann has been Principal Conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden. In addition to his current position in Dresden, Thielemann has been Artistic Director of the Salzburg Easter Festival since 2013, where the Staatskapelle is resident orchestra. Founded by Prince Elector Moritz von Sachsen in 1548, the Staatskapelle Dresden is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and thus steeped in tradition.

Revised Linz version (1877), live recording of the Staatskapelle Dresden's first symphony concert of the season in the Semperoper on 1 September 2017
