Bruckner (1824-1896)

Description:

Astonishing. Dausgaard's Challenge of Bruckner's Symphonies with a Chamber OrchestraDausgaard, whose concerts and CDs are highly acclaimed, took on Bruckner's challenge. In a surprising attempt, a chamber orchestra of only 40 members took on the grand, massive, and loud symphony. In this work, Dausgaard says that he found in Bruckner a very personal prayerful sentiment that he meditated and improvised on the organ, and with this in mind, he created a collection of chamber improvisations with symphonic music at its core. As a result, he says, a Bruckner image has emerged that has never been heard before. If this album is successful, a complete Bruckner cycle by a chamber orchestra is a dream come true.
