Review by Flávia Oliveira

Bruckner’s Symphonies 1-9: A Monster of Romantic Genius That Will Punch You in the Soul Let’s cut straight to it—this box set is a behemoth. Anton Bruckner’s Symphonies 1–9, performed by Berliner Philharmoniker under some of classical music's heaviest hitters (Herbert Blomstedt, Bernard Haitink, Simon Rattle, etc.), isn’t just an album; it’s more like climbing Mount Everest with your ears. And yeah, sure, there are moments where you feel like giving up because of its sheer weight and density—but when those climaxes hit? Oh man, they slap harder than anything modern pop could ever dream of. Why This Album Rips First off, let me tell you about Symphony No. 3 in D Minor (Version 1872/73). The fourth movement—"Finale: Bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell"—is what got me hooked from the get-go. It kicks off with this weird mix of chaos and control, like someone trying to build a cathedral while drunk on ambition. Then BOOM, that brass section comes in like thunderclaps outta nowhere. You don’t listen to this track—you experience it. Every note feels carved into stone but alive at the same time, pulsing through your veins. When the tempo shifts midway ("Bedeutend langsamer"), it’s almost cruel how beautiful it gets. Like Bruckner knew exactly how far he could push listeners before dragging us back into frenzy. By the end, I was sweating. Sweating! From listening to orchestral music! How wild is that? Then there’s Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, which has gotta be one of the most haunting pieces of music ever written. Listening to the final movement—the completed version by Samale-Phillips-Cohrs-Mazzuca—is like staring into an abyss filled with light instead of darkness. There’s no escape here; every phrase pulls you deeper into Bruckner’s obsessive mind. The strings wail like ghosts mourning their own deaths, and the horns sound like calls from another dimension. Halfway through, around “Feierlich, nicht schnell,” something clicks inside you. Maybe it’s existential dread, maybe it’s awe—either way, it sticks. This symphony doesn’t just finish; it dissolves into infinity, leaving you hollowed out yet strangely fulfilled. What Makes It Stand Out? The production quality deserves mad props too. With engineers like René Möller and Sebastian Nattkemper working magic behind the scenes, each instrument pops crystal clear without losing that raw emotional edge. Whether it’s the growl of the bass trombone or the shimmer of Emmanuel Pahud’s flute, everything sits perfectly in the mix. Even the liner notes—written by legit scholars like Richard Taruskin—are worth reading if you’re into nerding out over Bruckner lore. But honestly, what makes this collection unforgettable is the sheer audacity of it all. These conductors aren’t messing around—they bring their A-game like their lives depend on it. Each performance feels personal, as if these maestros have been living with Bruckner’s scores for decades and finally decided to unleash their interpretations on the world. No two symphonies sound alike, even though they’re all unmistakably Bruckner. That’s talent. That’s dedication. That’s borderline obsession. Final Thoughts So yeah, Symphonien 1–9 might not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re looking for catchy hooks or instant gratification, go stream whatever TikTok trend is currently dominating playlists. But if you want music that challenges you, rewards patience, and occasionally punches you right in the soul, this is IT. And here’s the kicker—it’s kinda funny how a guy like Bruckner, who struggled so much with self-doubt during his lifetime, ended up creating works that now feel immortal. Like, imagine him hearing these recordings today. He’d probably freak out, call them too loud, then secretly love every second of it.

Austrian organist and composer, born September 4, 1824, in Ansfelden, died October 11, 1896, in Vienna. In 1855 he began to seriously study music in Vienna and graduated in 1861 at the age of 37. It was only at 40 that he began to devote himself seriously to composition. since 1868 he has taught organ and counterpoint at the conservatory of Wien, meanwhile, he makes himself known as an organ concert player. His work was initially appreciated only by a small circle of admirers, only after his death, his great symphonic-choral compositions began to find acclaim and enthusiastic admirers in Europe and around the world. Josef Anton Bruckner best known for his symphonies, masses, Te Deum and motets. His symphonies are considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism because of their rich harmonic language, strongly polyphonic character, and considerable length. Bruckner's compositions helped to define contemporary musical radicalism, owing to their dissonances, unprepared modulations, and roving harmonies. Please, add composer revision year for Symphonies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8. Please, add score revision credit with tag "Score Editor" on all symphonies. If it is uncredited you can check your recording at https://www.abruckner.com/discography/. More common score editors are by and (here, please, also add score year).

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s an interesting fact: The album *Symphonien 1–9* by Anton Bruckner, performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker and conducted by a lineup of legendary maestros like Herbert Blomstedt, Bernard Haitink, and Sir Simon Rattle, isn’t just another classical music release. It’s a monumental project that brings together *all nine symphonies* in one collection, showcasing Bruckner’s genius across decades of his life. What makes it even cooler? The final movement of Symphony No. 9 was completed using a version meticulously reconstructed by musicologists over 20 years, blending Bruckner’s unfinished sketches with modern scholarship. It’s like hearing history come alive through sound!

Do you remember War-time Performance and Live recording by Furtwmnagler/Berlin Phil?
We have stocked some CDs came from the original master tapes in 1942-44.
The old USSR troops took these master tape from the Berlin Phil. to Moscow, for which they had still in
Melodiya Studio. The very rare and few CDs are In my hand still, for which they pressed them before 1990.
if you are interested in, please touch me via email([email protected]), First come, first service!

Da sollten die Philharmoniker lieber mal Bruckners Neunte mit Günter Wand endlich auf einer DVD veröffentlichen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV4fGBxjNK4

Einige der jetzt auf CDs präsentierten Mitschnitte habe ich mir in der Digital Concert Hall der Berliner Philharmoniker angehört - und fand die Ergebnisse eher enttäuschend (leider auch Jansons mit der Sechsten). - Wenn ich sie nicht schon längst hätte, würde ich mir die CD-Box der Bruckner-Sinfonien mit Günter Wand und den Berliner Philharmonikern kaufen (Nr. 4,5 und 7-9; gibt's bei Amazon schon für knapp 30 Euro). Da fehlen zwar einige Sinfonien. Die kann man aber durch die ebenfalls herausragenden Günter-Wand-Aufnahmen mit dem NDR-Sinfonieorchester/Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester problemlos ergänzen. Und dann hat man bei Bruckner eigentlich alles, was man braucht. Ich jedenfalls.
