Bruckner’s “Romantic” Fourth Symphony has a distinct feeling of longing and closeness to nature – for instance, in the horn call at the beginning and the melancholy singing of the strings. The work is conducted by Jakub Hrůša, who also presents the world premiere of Keyframes for a Hippogriff by Olga Neuwirth, one of the most sought-after composers of our time. Neuwirth says the work is about trying “to remain a free soul despite the despair and pain in this world”.

Approved

We can quickly hear why Anton Bruckner called his Fourth Symphony “Romantic”. There is a distinct feeling of longing and closeness to nature – for instance, in the horn call at the beginning, the melancholy singing of the strings and the vigorous sounds of the hunt. Jakub Hrůša, chief conductor of the Bamberger Symphoniker, leads the orchestra in this concert. He also conducts the world premiere of Keyframes for a Hippogriff by Olga Neuwirth, one of the most prominent composers of our time. According to the composer, the work is about trying “to remain a free soul despite the despair and pain in this world”.
